About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Anti-lock braking system over reacts. Had to avoid accidents many times when cruising to stop and hitting either a dip, small or large pothole, slight imperfection in road service will cause ABS to engage (brake petal dops and ABS starts) especially on downhill breaking. I will include 1 incident date because that is all you will allow me to do on the form. Problem is repeatable and happens often (2-3 times a week) I know this is not just my car or a problem related to only my car it is already known, Subaru knows of problem. Yet does not offer a safe solution. I actually found this out the hard way 2 months after getting my new car the rs model.no injuries luckily. From what I hear from Subaru clubs this happens with other model years as well. Subaru of America has been very stubborn to correct this issue.
