Description of the problem	This is a 1 owner car with only 65400 miles on it. I drove down a 30mph road and there was such a loud screeching sound . No light came on, i went to stop there was loud grinding . And 0 brakes out of the blue. The car wouldn't stop. I went threw the stop sign and into traffic before grinding to a stop.. This car has been maintained regular. I took it right away to a local repair shop.. They said the brakes are carroded and frozen. Requiring calipers ,rotors,pads on each front wheel. Just for the front the cost was over $950. 00 . I did show a recall for this but before i go to the sabaru dealer i need to make sure that this is covered. I am a disabled widow i drive very few miles . I have never had any vehicle require any thing other than pads. Rhis is a replacement of a defective braking system. Still the brakes light has not even come on.
