| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The brake rotors have surface imperfections which causes incomplete brake shoe contact to the rotor and concentric grooves in the rotor. there are numerous reports from wrx owners of the same problem, as well as reports of brake shoes wearing out before 5000 miles and grinding noises. subaru has been contacted and chooses to use the excuse "it is only a problem of appearance" when in fact the rotors, a vital piece of a major safety component of the vehicle is defective and potentially unsafe. we demand a recall and replacement of the defective rotors. subaru's flippant and ridiculous attitude is irresponsible. please force them to fix this obvious mechanical defect.*ak |
