| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Within 4 years, my subaru outback vcd needed 3 sets of brakes and 4 sets of rotors (not including the "resurfacing" to extend the rotors). everytime when i brought the car to the dealership, they attribute the problems to my driving pattern. but i owned three other cars before (all were less expensive), and never needed to replace brakes nor rotors. as posted in this website, there are 13 other complains, with virtually identical problems. i strongly recommend nhtsa engineers to analyze the 2001 subaru outback brakes and rotors. not only it is a public safety issue, it is also a company responsibility issue: subaru should be responsible for all repair cost, not to mention the inconvenience, our time, emotional stress caused to the vehicle owners. *nm |
