Description of the problem	I want to also submit a statement about the problems i have had with my brakes,i also noticed others have had the same problems,as soon as i got the car i noticed the brakes were very soft. I took the car in,i was told they were fine. A couple weeks later i was in line at starbucks and the brakes went right to the floor,i pulled the emergency up narrowly missing the person in front of me. I called the dealer again,before i got the car back in again at dunkin donuts it did the same thing. It had also started making a horrible smell and had no power. And a few other minor things. I took it in they said the brakes were fine,i argued they were not. The smell was supposedly some kind of fluid leaking on the muffler. Took it home brakes still kept doing the same thing,called back went back in the car was low on oil and the brakes were still doing the non existent thing,plus it still smelled bad and i had a list for them,they gave it an oil change,and said this time the brakes were fine but may need pads in 6,000 miles or so now the smell is normal thou,plus i told them it was not getting good gas mileage and hitching,they said unless the engine light comes on they cant do anything. Well now lastly the rear seat belt works only occasionally,my brake light is on all the time and they only stop about half the time my tires are all worn out,at less than 10,000 miles which they say is normal (ok) and it stalls doesn't like to start,and is under recall it still smells bad,the cruise control only works when it feels like it,it uses oil,eats gas,and stalls doesn't like to start,and the brakes act like the anti lock feature is constant even when it shouldn't be? Now after an accident and my air bags don't deploy i think it seems like a real trend here and i reported my accident to subaru of america they don't seem to care.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
