2004 Subaru OUTBACK Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1698133
Internal NHTSA #	11364869
Manufacurer	Subaru of America, Inc.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	OUTBACK
Model Year	2004
File date	17/10/20
Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Autozone sold me (via warranty exchange) aftermarket brake pads that supposedly were the same part #d929 as the brake pads autozone had previously sold me and was replacing under warranty. However, the brake pads that they provided to me today as warranty replacements were too large for the brake caliper and would be unsafe if installed and forced to fit in the caliper. Specifically, the inner shoulder dimension on these pads is too large to fit properly in the caliper. I verified the problem by purchasing brake pads from a different auto supply store and installing them with no difficulty. This problem occurred when the vehicle was stationary, because it happened during brake pad replacement.
