| Description of the problem | On 5/30/16 the electronic brake was non-functional again. It would not engage. The "brake" light was flashing on the dashboard. I was parked on a hill and could not engage the parking brake due to malfunction. What if the transmission cog could not hold the car? It would have rolled down the hill and done untold damage. This electronic parking brake should be recalled as it is dangerous as a critical safety element of the car. The 2015 outback has been recalled in australia for this very issue. |
