While driving down the highway I had to slam on my brakes to avoid colliding with someone and at that time the brake pedal went soft. Upon further inspection 2 different brake hard lines running to the rear of the vehicle have corroded and failed. This issue was supposed to be remedied under 14V311000 and the vehicle was originally taken in for that recall. Subaru of America was contacted and said because the recall work had already been completed they would not address the issue.

Even after taking my vehicle in for the brake line recall, months later after a Subaru dealership tested them, my breaks still gave away. It was said that it was severely corroded and it was blown. This happens 3-4 months after I had taken it in to get the recall checked. I ended up having to pay half the cost to fix it. I shouldn't had to. They should've been able to identified it before it had happened. It does not take 3-4 months to be come so severely corroded that my breaks gave away while driving to walmart. Luckily I was right by the dealership so once the warning light came on, I quickly drove it off the city street and into Subaru dealership. As I was parking it, I no longer had breaks. I had immediately pulled my E-brakes in order to stop my vehicle in a parking spot.

The brake failed to stop. On city road. I had to push the brake paddle all the way down only to get weak breaking capability. Took the car straight to garage for break repair. The car needed break liner parts. The cost of repair was $300.. Subaru admitted the problem, gave $150 coupon for good faith. Brake failure. It could kill me for brake failure..

Have an issue with driving between 60 and 70 mph, steering wheel vibrates, at times very hard and when braking, car shakes a great deal. Can at times happen at lower speeds as well. Made sure all tires were filled to specific psi levels provided by car manual as well as having tires balanced and rotated without much help. This has been occurring just of late over past 2 weeks and is an everyday/travel occurrence.

Car began to shake violently upon highway acceleration at 45 mph and got worse at 55 mph. I immediately proceeded to the mechanic who was only several miles away. Mechanic said that car could not be pushed in neutral to get it on the lift because brake calipers were seized. Upon further inspection by mechanic it was determined that corroded brake line had burst. Mechanic said he has seen this before and that it was most likely due to salt used to treat roads during the wintertime. Calipers, rotors, pads, and brake lines all needed to be replaced. Very strange because I just had new calipers put on the car two years ago.

Hello, I had bought a 2006 Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT limited and I live in the hills of western MA, so my car saw 2 winters. Coming back from boston, MA 14 miles from home (out of 135 miles) as I was entering charlmnt I slowed down to 30 mph. As I approached a corner with a car coming in my lane. I thought if I went into his lane best case scenario I could make it. But we clipped back bumpers and when I put my brakes on the car started going faster at that time I just said there was puddle with ice underneath. But now with the recall about the brake lines in certain states being recalled, that makes since because when I slammed onto my brakes the car started to go faster not slowing down. I contacted about the accident [xxx] vp of Subaru of America or soa. All he kept on doing was denying about this and offering $500 if I bought a new Subaru and now with the recall of the brakes it makes sense and even the recall he won't replace my vehicle in closing I would like to say that my Subaru was a lemon and at the time of accident they were looking for a car like mine to swap it out with.
