| Description of the problem | Even after taking my vehicle in for the brake line recall, months later after a subaru dealership tested them, my breaks still gave away. It was said that it was severely corroded and it was blown. This happens 3-4 months after i had taken it in to get the recall checked. I ended up having to pay half the cost to fix it. I shouldn't had to. They should've been able to identified it before it had happened. It does not take 3-4 months to be come so severely corroded that my breaks gave away while driving to walmart. Luckily i was right by the dealership so once the warning light came on, i quickly drove it off the city street and into subaru dealership. As i was parking it, i no longer had breaks. I had immediately pulled my e-brakes in order to stop my vehicle in a parking spot. |
