| Description of the problem | March of 2019 a recall was performed for rusted brake lines... This year the brakes lines suddenly failed... Apparently if the brake lines aren't leaking the subaru fix is to spray sealer over the rust. Only by the grace of god was no one injured as the car was being parked when the brakes let loose. And of course subaru said they would repair the brakes properly for $1400. 00. I removed the car from the dealership for a proper repair! |
