The contact had received several recall notifications of an air bag recall for a 2005 Subaru Outback. The contact never owned the vehicle and requested to be removed from the recall distribution list. The manufacturer was contacted and advised the contact that the removal request could not be processed without the complete VIN. The contact had provided a partial VIN.

Vehicle brakes failed while driving, the brake pedal went to the floor and almost caused a serious car accident. Yes, vehicle and brake lines are available for inspection upon request. My safety, the safety of others and more importantly my life and the lives of others were severely threatened because of the major break failure that occurred. It is terrifying to think that I was unknowingly driving around this vehicle with an imminent accident that could happen anytime, without any warning, which could have killed me. After taking pictures of my brake lines, recording videos and doing some quick research, I called a local to inspect my brake lines. I told them the scenario that I experienced and reported to them that my brake lines were covered in rust. I told them that I found out my vehicle had a recall remedy done on the brake lines in 2017, which is before I owned the vehicle. I told them that the rust and corrosion was in the same spots that were supposed to be fixed in the recall

There should be a recall for front suspension on this vehicle if not the entire suspension. Mine has been garage kept since day 1, is in showroom condition, not driven in salt on roads during snow, therefore no reason for the suspension to be in this condition. In 2019 at 74,000 miles I had to have the entire front end suspension all components replaced at a cost of over $2,500 USD the suspension was also causing what others refer to as "drifting" under any road driving conditions on dry or wet pavement at any speed above 30mph and would and still does after having the entire suspension replaced, drift, unstable, and when the original suspension was replaced even after being flawlessly maintained the suspension components from the factory were severely worn and including rubber gaskets, sway bars, etc and appeared to have a rust or corroded appearance in spite of the vehicle never being driven in weather during snow when most areas would place salt on roads which is a primary cause of

The contact owns a 2005 Subaru Outback. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard. The brake warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to drive home where he inspected the vehicle and discovered severe corrosion at a connection point on the brake line. The contact stated that the brake line was leaking brake fluid. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V311000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle had already been serviced previously under the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000.

Vehicle experienced sudden complete brake failure while driving due to a rupture in brake system in the exact area of a known defect / recalls NHTSA SUBARU RECALL WQG-43 and WQK-47 (both completed) which had been issued to inspect and repair the defect. Safety of driver / occupants were immediately put at grave risk due to inability to slow or stop vehicle. Car was traveling on a two way high traffic road at a speed of approximately 30+MPH. I was able to stop slowly using the emergency hand brake though only after attempting to pump the brakes which became absolutely unresponsive (this took approximately 7-10 seconds while pumping the Brake pedal). It was pure luck that there was no one directly in front of me at the time. If anything had been in front of me my choices would have been: A) swerve to the right into parked cars B) swerve left into oncoming traffic or C) run into or hit whatever was in front of me. None of those would have been acceptable options and all could have potenti

puddle of brake fluid under car no brakes after looking at it 4way joint connector at rear of car is leaking . online says recall was done but specifications for the repair are ludacris to spray wax over corrosion ! the lines are already damaged and that would just seal the corrosion in and continue to deteriorate! that recall in itself is a safety hazard and needs to be reevaluated!

The contact owns a 2005 Subaru Outback. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing cruise control failures. Additionally, the contact stated while driving at 50 MPH up a steep hill of a bridge, the brake pedal was depressed and the vehicle decelerated significantly to 20-25 MPH. The accelerator pedal was depressed but failed to respond. The contact stated that the vehicle lost motive power and remained at the bottom of the hill facing an incline, while there was oncoming traffic. The check engine warning light and other unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact engaged the Sport mode first gear and the vehicle moved slowly. The contact continued to depress the accelerator pedal but the vehicle failed to respond. The contact switched to the slow lane and drove to the top of the incline and made a left turn off the end of the bridge downhill. The vehicle rolled down, allowing him to veer to the side of the road. The contact parked the vehicle. Upon inspecting the vehicle,

Parasitic Battery Drain: When the vehicle is in use, the CAN system in the car relies on an electrical current to be operated as intended. When the vehicle is not being driven, the CAN system should enter a sleep mode in which it stops drawing significant electrical current. However, vehicle does not enter sleep mode when the car turns off, resulting in a "parasitic battery drain." Local Subaru dealer maintenance department has not been able to determine any way to fix. Battery drains completely after approx 1 week of nonoperation (and sometimes sooner) leaving me (owner) stranded and unable to start vehicle without obtaining a jump start. Has also required recurring battery replacement at a cumulative significant cost. Not sure what to do and do not want to sell to another person that would inherit this ongoing issue.

THIS IS THE FIRST SUBARU I'VE EVER OWNED AND SO FAR IT'S BEEN A NIGHTMARE. I HAVE HAD TO REPAIR: AN OIL LEAK IN THE ENGINE THAT REQUIRED THE WHOLE ENGINE TO BE TAKEN APART. WHILE REPLACING A SEEMINGLY SIMPLE PART, THE HYDRAULIC LIFTS THAT KEEP THE BACK HATCH OPEN, THE THREADING THAT HOLDS THE SCREW IN BROKE OFF AND I HAD TO HIRE A MECHANIC YET AGAIN TO WELD THAT PART TO BE ABLE TO SCREW IN THE SCREW TO HOLD THE LIFT IN PLACE. AND NOW, THE ENTIRE INTERIOR LIGHTING DOESN'T WORK, INCLUDING THE STEREO, ALL THE DOME LIGHTS AND THE REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM. IN ADDITION TO THAT, THE REAR WIPER DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY.

ON RANDOM OCCASIONS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL QUITS WORKING, RESULTING IN SUDDEN DECELERATION WITH THE ENGINE SPEED NOT RESPONDING TO THE PEDAL POSITION. I HAVE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROADWAY, TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND WAIT. UPON RESTARTING THE CAR DRIVES FINE UNTIL THE NEXT FAILURE. OCCASIONALLY IT TAKES E FEW TRIES TO RESET.

DRIVING IN LIGHT SNOW OR MIXTURE OF SLUSHY SNOW THE VEHICLE REAR DRIFTS LEFT AND RIGHT AT SPEEDS OF 20 MPH. DANGEROUS IF THE SPEED IS EXCEEDED. CAR PASS ME ALL THE TIME BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT PROBLEMS WITH THE ROAD AT HIGH SPEEDS. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS CALLED GHOST WALKING. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I SPUN OUT.

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE THE GAS PEDAL STOPS FUNCTIONING. IT HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS WELL AS LOCAL ROADS. WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN YOU HAVE TO FIND A SAFE SPOT TO PULL OVER AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE FOR AT LEAST A MINUTE OR MORE. RESTART THE CAR AND THE PEDAL COMES BACK. THIS IS VERY HAZARDOUS. I COULD END UP GETTING REAR ENDED. MY GRAND CHILDREN RIDE IN THE CAR. THE SCANNER CODE CAME UP P2138 SUBARU RECOMMENDS THAT THE GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT'S A 185.00 PART PLUS LABOR.I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE

PLEASE REFER TO CODE P2138 - THROTTLE/PEDAL POSITION SENSOR SWITCH WITH "D"/"E" VOLTAGE CORRELATION DTC SEVERITY 2 OF 3 REPAIR -- I BELIEVE ELAINE CHAO SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THE SAFETY ISSUES AFFECTING THE GENERAL PUBLIC REGARDING THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE -- MY SUBARU OUTBACK ACCELERATOR WILL SHUT DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY ALMOST EVERY DAY. SUBARU IS AWARE THAT THIS IS A PERVASIVE PROBLEM AFFECTING THOUSANDS OF SUBARUS AND SHOULD BE FORCED TO ISSUE A RECALL. I'LL BE GOING 75 MPH AND THEN SUDDENLY THERE WILL BE NO POWER AND THE CAR WILL COAST TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. THIS THEN SHUTS DOWN EVERYONE ON I35 AND I ALMOST GET HIT FROM BEHIND MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK.
