2010 Subaru Legacy Brakes Problems

4 WAY REAR BRAKE LINE JUNCTION BOX IS SEVERELY CORRODED/RUSTED AND LEAKING BRAKE FLUID, WHICH COULD LEAD TO BRAKE FAILURE/CAUSE ACCIDENT.

Three identical instances. 1. Was driving down road came to stop light pushed brakes and car stalled out. 2. Was approaching roundabout pushed brakes to wait for traffic and car stalled out. 3. Was on incline at stop pressing brakes, went to push gas and car stalled out. In each instance the car dies completely. You have to take key out, put back in and turn on the vehicle again.

THE BRAKE PIPES HAVE BEEN RUSTED THROUGH ON MY CAR. THE LOCATIONS IS JUST FORWARD OF OF THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE. SUBARU HAD PLACED A PLASTIC COVER THERE, BUT I BELIEVE IS FAILED TO STOP THE PROBLEM WHICH HAS PLAGUED THEIR CARS SINCE THE 90'S. I AM AWARE OF OTHER RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM IN THE SUBARU LINE, BUT CURRENT RECALL STOPS OF 2009 ON THE LEGACY. THE BRAKES STARTED LOSING PRESSURE WHEN I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM A STORE A 1/4 MIKE FROM HOME. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR HOME SAFELY.

PARKING BRAKE , ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE NOT WORKING HAS FLASHING BRAKE LIGHT, HAS THIS BEEN A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 SUBARU LEGACY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V626000 (SERVICE BRAKES) WAS RECEIVED IN JUNE OF 2016. AFTER CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT A REMEDY WAS NOT EXPECTED UNTIL THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2019. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

INCIDENT HAPPENED YESTERDAY 9AM, EXTREME HOT WEATHER. I WAS PARKED ON A HILL- STEEP PARKING. LEFT MY SISTER INSIDE TO GET A PARKING TICKET TO PLACE ON MY DASH BOARD THEN I CAME BACK TO PUT IN THE DASHBOARD, IT WAS STILL ON PARKED- MY SISTER WENT AT THE BACK OF THE CAR THIS TIME AND AS SOON AS I REMOVED THE KEYS FROM IGNITION IT STARTED SLIDING BACK AND IT WOULDN'T STOP- ALMOST RUNNING OVER MY SISTER. I WAS STEPPING ON THE BREAKS BUT SINCE THE KEYS ARE NOT ON THE IGNITION IT WAS NOT WORKING ANYMORE. THEN I PLACED BACK THE KEY THAT STOPPED THE CAR THIS TIME. THE DOOR ON THE DRIVER SEAT SAVED US FR FURTHER SLIDING DOWN AND RUNNING OVER MY SISTER AT THE BACK. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN GIVEN THAT IT SHOULDN'T BE SLIDING WHEN IT'S PARKED. I WON'T BE ABLE TO REMOVE MY KEYS WHEN IT'S NOT PLACED ON PARK. *TR
