2015 Subaru FORESTER Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

Brand	SUBARU
Model	FORESTER
Model Year	2015
File date	14/06/17
Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	While driving, the electronic stability control, the hill assist brake and the abs lights randomly deploy. Happened 3 times in 24 hours. Turning the car off and back on seems to clear the issue. However, after that, now two times while traveling at a regular speed, the braking system automatically applied itself, including the cvt engaging into low speed and forcing the car to drive only at 10-20 mph. As well, when this occurs the braking system does not work. Other reads sound like a faulty brake light sensor or sensing system, but this is a potentially fatal malfunction as one traveling 60 mph on the highway was suddenly stopped with no warning. Then when trying to get to safety, the brakes would not work while attempting to come to a stop at a light. The vehicle seems to "reset" and be fine for a few miles, only to either go to the all lights on system (abs/hill assist/stability control) or go into the braking/cvt error as well. Will have the car towed to the dealership, but this is a serious safety concern that is electronic in nature as the default fall back is not a manual working brake system but seems to be a non-working brake system.
