Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The brake rotors on my 2005 subaru have warped (all 4) at 14,000 miles producing a violent pulsating pedal and inefficient braking. this alone could cause some drivers to allow for insufficient braking distances causing a crash. it is now my understanding, after some investigation, that this is a "common" problem with this manufacturer for many years. the subaru dealer cut the rotors under warranty but this should never have occurred at 14,000 miles. *jb
