Description of the problem	My 2011 subaru outback exhibits brake failure intermittently upon first start of the engine. On numerous occasions, the car would not stop while i was applying heavy pressure to the brakes. After a series of actuations, the brakes begin to work normally. To date, this has not lead to an accident. I have taken the car to the dealer on several occasions and they have not been able to replicate the failure and as a result, have indicated there is nothing they can do. The failure does not occur everyday, so it is not surprising that the dealer cannot replicate. During the first visit, they indicated they found a leaking hose that was the cause, but then the issue returned. At my request, they replaced the brake fluid, but this issue returned once again. I have contacted subaru usa who also stated that there is nothing that can be done.
