| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Hello, i've been having extreme problems with the antilock brake system in my 2004 subaru impreza wrx. it'll kick in at unneeded times, where i will lose control of the car and the car will continue to lurch forward. this can be a frightening experience, especially if there's a car in front of me. in the winter, i have to pull the abs fuse, which believe it or not, actually helps my braking distance. if i leave the abs enabled and hit a patch of ice, i'll lose total control of the brakes and continue to glide. in my opinion, this is a huge safety concern, and one that many other subaru owners have complained about to both subaru and your organization. subaru issued a voluntary recall for the abs system for models 2003 and under, but the problem is still there for the 2004 model as well. subaru refuses to do anything to fix my problem. i appreciate any help you can give me in this matter. sincerely, paul ahern. *nm |
