| Description of the problem | The issue with my vehicle is that we have to push the brakes too far before the brakes start working. I reported the matter to subaru service dealer in rapid city, sd and to subaru (complained through their website), the subaru dealer checked the brakes and they say they are all good and normal. So far we did not have any incident caused by this but we are not happy and do not feel safe. We have driven a no. Of vehicles but this is the only vehicle where we need to push the brakes so much down. |
