I was going around a bend and the brake pedal locked. I was unable to utilize the brakes. Due to this brake failure, i drove up on a hillside and smashed into a telephone pole.feel that this is a mechanical defect in the car which caused the accident as the brake pedal was locked into place. The car had no known mechanical issues and was inspected in july 2014.
The car was started in the driveway on a very cold day. The brake pedal was initially able to be pressed, but then became rock hard and could not be pushed down. After 10 minutes of letting the car warm up, the brake pedal was able to be pressed, but then seized up again 1 minute later. This could cause a crash if it occurred on the highway.
#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 tocheck 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.
While driving my car i rested my left foot on the "footrest" of the drivers side floor and the heel of my shoe went right thru the floor of my 2008 subaru tribeca. I had to take my foot out of the shoe to get the shoe "unstuck". I thank god i was not driving on the expressway and could pull over when it happened. When i took the shoe out i could see a black wire in the background area. I know this is not normal or safe and i would like to know if it has happened before and how i can get this repaired.
