SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
SUBARU HAS AN INHERENT BRAKE DEFECT IN THEIR 2010-2011 SUBARU WRX AND WRX STI MODEL CARS. THE BRAKE SENSOR IN NEW CARS IS FAULTY CAUSING SYSTEM FAILURE WITH REGARDS TO ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. WHEN BRAKES ARE USED IN A PANIC SITUATION THEY LOCK UP CAUSING DRIVERS TO LOSE CONTROL WITH THE ROAD AND DO NOT PROVIDE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. DRIVERS ARE UNAWARE OF THE BRAKE DEFECT BECAUSE SUBARU HAS NOT ISSUED A PROPER RECALL IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I RECEIVE MY NEW SWP STI WITH 7 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. RIGHT OF THE BAT NOT A GREAT TASTE IN MY MOUTH. DIDN'T GET A GREAT DEAL, FINANCE ROOM HAD SOME SHADY STUFF GOING ON. WHATEVER THOUGH, I HAVE MY NEW STI I'M HAPPY ENOUGH! AROUND 500 MILES MY CAR, I'M ON THE FREEWAY IN THE LEFT LANE GOING ABOUT 75 AND THE THROTTLE VANISHES. THE CAR GOES IN TO FAILSAFE MODE AND WON'T GO FASTER THAN 40 MILES AN HOUR, IN HOUSTON, IN THE LEFT LANE, WITH NO SHOULDER. I'M TERRIFIED, BUT I MANAGE TO LIMP IT TO A PARKING LOT. THEY CALL ME LATER IN THE WORK DAY TO TELL ME IT WAS A THROTTLE RELAY OR SOMETHING AND THEY'VE FIXED IT. THEY WANT TO DRIVE IT 30 MILES (!!!!!!!!!!!!) TO MAKE SURE IT'S FIXED. I, OF COURSE SAY NO, AND THAT I WOULD LIKE TO DRIVE MY NEW CAR NOT SOME RANDOM STRANGER ALL THE TIME. DRIVING ON THE BELTWAY 2 DAYS LATER, THE SAME DAMN THING HAPPENS AGAIN. LOSING 35 MPH OF SPEED. *TR
