2015 Subaru FORESTER Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1406660
Internal NHTSA #	11022540
Manufacurer	Subaru of America, Inc.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	FORESTER
Model Year	2015
File date	15/08/17
Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Soft brake fade. Brakes fade, in particular, when vehicle is warm after driving at highway speeds, brakes sink all the way to the floor. It seems like they won't stop the vehicle. This seems to be getting worse as vehicle ages. Happens regularly. Dealer and subaru say this is normal behavior. There are service bulletins about this safety issue on many other subaru models, but not on this model. Dealer and subaru are incorrectly treating this as a customer satisfaction issue, not a safety issue. I recommend an investigation of subaru brake issues on all models.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
