| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I seem to be having the same problem that is being investigated currently by you. the nhtsa # is: ea03024 i was involved in an accident in which my abs brakes of my 2003 subaru impreza wrx did not engage. i applied the brakes just like i normally do and the brake sank very quickly, and then supplied very little braking power. the performance of my brakes was very very poor compared to what they usually felt like. this happened while i was driving at a speed of aproximately 45mph. this resulted in an accident. i ran into the back of another person. this was of course deemed my fault. this accident happened in late january this year (2004). the car was repaired, but i have experienced the problem on two other occasions since then. luckily i was able to steer around the cars in front of me and try applying the brakes again to make them work correctly. |
