2008 Subaru B9 TRIBECA Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	960711
Internal NHTSA #	10493805
Manufacurer	Subaru of America, Inc.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	B9 TRIBECA
Model Year	2008
File date	09/01/13
Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Backing out of garage during cold weather below freezing, stepped on brake pedal and no response from the brake system. Was unable to stop car until i pumped brakes frantically many times. Left car out during below freezing weather 2 more times, same problem--no brakes. Vacuum assist for brakes would not work in below freezing weather. Took car to subaru dealer, all 3 vacuum hose brakes replaced. Dealer states that each hose has a check valve in it for the vacuum system. Fortunately we discovered this problem at a very low rate of speed. No vacuum assist for the brakes makes this car virtually unstoppable at almost any speed. What if it would have been on a mountain road?? Death would be eminent. I feel this should be under recall before someone is killed or maimed.
