Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The braking system often fails when the brakes are applied while travelling over a rough or bumpy surface, regardless of speed (i have had it occur several times, from 5 to 35 mph). in these cases the abs is wrongfully triggered under mild braking, then the vast majority of braking power is lost and the car barely stops at all. this braking is completely different in feel and performance from the abs functioning properly ( i.e. very hard braking on a smooth surface. the brakes work fine in these cases.). this is a common problem that i am hearing about from other 2002 impreza/wrx owners.*ak
