Manufacurer	SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	WRX

File date	30/04/04
Component	SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Each time the engine is started for the first time after about 4 hours of not running, and the car is put into motion, the brakes fail to easily stop the car. Extreme pressure is required to be applied to the brake pedal to bring the car to a full stop. This condition lasts for several minutes-up to approximately 3- was present when the vehicle was new, and continues. The car's unstoppable and continued forward or backward motion could cause injury or death to a person in front of or behind the vehicle in an outdoor space such as a parking lot, or in a very confined space like a garage. Cars with an automatic transmission are at a disadvantage here, because they can't be slowed by depressing the clutch as with a manual transmission. A report to the new car dealer and the regional manager were dismissed by advising simply that greater brake pressure be applied.
