| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The 2001 subaru outback seems to have an unusually high incidence of needing brake repairs. we are on our 2nd brake job in under 40,000 miles. the disc rotors have warped twice, resulting in strong vibration (not abs) when stopping. the brakes also squeal in reverse, annoying, and possibly a symptom of an underlying problem. the dealer has preformed a pad replacement ,even though there was adequate material remaining, and rotor turning 2 times. my on-line research, and the consumer reports documentation reports a significant percentage , over 14% have suffered similar problems. if this were occuring in a less critical component i wouldn't be as concerned.however this seems to be a very short lifespan for brakes in a non-high performance vehicle. additionally the pads aren't wearing, but the rotors are failing.*ak |
