Forester

  • 172,500 miles
Brake pads are good and most of the time work right. When road is icy or wet and I push the pedal the car starts shuttering, brake lets loose and won't stop the car. I try to let off the pedal and barely push it again and it still won't quit shuttering or stop. If I go to low gear real fast or pull the emergency brake two clicks then I can stop. Has this ever been a recall on this auto?
