| Description of the problem | Subaru usa and the national highway traffic safety administration have issued a recall on specific subaru's that identifies the brake system will fail without notice. The brake lines on my vehicle that fall under the recall have failed and i did encounter a "no brake" situation. After bringing the vehicle in for repair of the recall, the dealership contacted me back and claimed it was not the brake lines that caused the issue. I confirmed and tested my claim prior to bringing in the vehicle that the issue was 100% due to the rear brake line leaking. Doyle falsified the issue during their explanation indicating it was the front caliper that was leaking, which was not part of the recall. I have multiple pictures that show brake fluid leaking from the highly corroded rear brake lines. I had indicated exactly where the leak was coming from in printed documentation provided to the doyle subaru service manager. Subaru stated the leak was not covered under the recall. |
