TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 SUBARU TRIBECA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REMOTE AUTOMATIC STARTER WOULD NOT DISENGAGE WHEN THE KEYS WERE NOT IN THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THAT A FAILURE WAS NOT PRESENT IN THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS E-MAILED BUT HAD NOT RESPONDED YET TO THE CONTACTS INQUIRY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
#1 THE VIN # IS CORRECT. #2 THE BRAKE TRAVEL IS TO EXCESSIVE FOR PROPER RESPONSE TIME. THIS HAS BEEN NOTED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED WITH 15000 MILES. LITHER SUBURU IN WHITE BEAR LAKE MN WAS REQUESTED TO CHECK THIS OUT FOR ANOTHER SERVICE MAINTENANCE. THEY WOULD NOT CHECK IT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT UNDER RECALL SUCH AS THE 2011 LEGACY MODEL. SINCE MY WIFE DRIVES THE VEHICLE SHE IS NOT KNOWLEDGEABLE AS TO THE DISTANCE THE FOOT PEDAL SHOULD TRAVEL. I HAVE SPENT YEARS IN AUTOMOTIVE AND HEAVY EQUIPMENT AS A SERVICE ENGINEER SO I FEEL QUALIFIED TO SAY THAT THIS IS A SAFETY DEFICIENCY. I HAD ANOTHER ENGINEER DRIVE IT TO VERIFY MY CONCLUSION. *TR
