Car stalling at stops. Received a report on all work done on this car stating issues with catalytic converter and that Subaru repaired before I bought the car. I also had loss of all brakes when the lines leaked out November 2022. I had brakes repaired cost of $1000.so far since buying this car I have not been able to drive the car because of the stalling issues.

While coming down a hill, I applied the brakes, and suddenly lost all brake pedal pressure, only being able to stop using a handbrake. This complete loss of the braking system put me and other drivers at risk. Had I been traveling at higher speeds, an accident could have occurred. The brake system warning light came on at the same time as I pumped the brake pedal, and there were no prior indications that the brake system was about to fail. When I inspected the car for fluid leaks, I found that the brake master cylinder was empty and a lot of fluid had collected just in front of the rear passenger-side wheel. The brake line union block at the rear of the car was severely corroded as were the brake lines into and out of the union block. This exact problem was supposedly addressed by NHTSA recall 14V-311 (Subaru Recall WQK-47). The fix involved either applying an anti-corrosion coating or replacing the faulty brake lines. The recall was marked as completed in 2014. However, the completed recall did not prevent the problem from recurring. Since the recall was marked as "completed", Subaru has refused to conduct necessary repairs on the vehicle. This is a known failure point and serious safety concern in many Subaru vehicles, acknowledged by both NHTSA and Subaru. I claim that the fix completed under the recall was insufficient in preventing brake line corrosion and failure.

Went to local suburb dealership and was expecting a free loaner vehicle but was not and that was in the recall so they local dealership did not deliver the service that they were supposed to fix for the recall!

Contacted dealer (mike shaw Subaru, northglenn, co) per the NHTSA recall 14V-311 -- recall states inspect and repair. Insisted on inspection only and replacement in the event of visible corrosion only. Did not offer the application of anti-corrosive material in the event that lines are deemed acceptable.
