| Description of the problem | Brake pedal travel suddenly increased while driving on residential street. Brake pedal must be depressed almost to floor for car to begin braking. Braking is not very effective. No brake fluid loss experienced and brake fluid appears clear. Fluid level near maximum level in reservoir. A recall (11v562000) for similar issue on certain 2012 legacy was issued but my vin does not indicate a recall. |
