| Description of the problem | Brakes completely failed while driving on a city street, slowing to let a pedestrian cross in a crosswalk. The vehicle had a 100% brake failure. The brake pedal went to the floor. There seemed to be a malfunction in the dual braking system. Front brakes and rear brakes were serviced at a subaru dealership at different times. The bolts holding the passenger side rear caliper separated from the car. The bolts had backed out. The lower one was missing. The other caliper bolt had backed out of the threads but was loosely held in place by the brake hose. The driver side rear caliper did not appear to be leaking. |
