Did not own it long and noticed something funny about the brakes.
thought it was just how it felt at first until it started taking me a long time to stop and pushing the brake pedal more did not make it feel like it wanted to stop any faster. after work i put it on the hoist took off the tires and noticed all 4 rotors had eaten into brand new brake pads gouging them beyond use on new rotors. I do drive on the highway daily but never had this happen on previous cars. so i replaced all rotors and pads to the tune of $400 not even a year later the same thing is happened but this time braking was not reduced traded in the forester as i did not want to spend more money on the brakes. not sure if any one else had brake problems on their forester. this was definitely annoying.
