| Description of the problem | I purchased a subaru outback (2011). Since that time, i have complained to the dealer of "soft brakes." the car does not stop in a timely, or effective manner. I have to overcompensate for routine stopping distances; and, you cannot panic stop. There is at least 2 inches of play in the brake; it fails to stop adequately in a safe manner; and the brakes are simply unresponsive in an emergency stop. |
