2011 Subaru OUTBACK Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1286457
Internal NHTSA #	10871343
Manufacurer	Subaru of America, Inc.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	OUTBACK
Model Year	2011
File date	27/05/16
Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The electronic parking brake on this vehicle does not work most of the time. Last evening is an example. Parked on slope in driveway and engaged the parking brake. When time to leave the brake could not be disengaged. It was locked up. Had to manually decouple the parking brake with special tool. Most of the time this brake cannot be engaged as electrical system is unresponsive. The "brake" dash light just flashes and a 'chirp' is heard when the button is pushed. Parking brakes are terribly important in hilly environs. This is a safety hazard and the vehicle should be thus recalled/redesigned to a more dependable system (ie. Manual lever/cable brake).
