This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The brake rotors have surface imperfections which causes incomplete brake shoe contact to the rotor and concentric grooves in the rotor. There are numerous reports from WRX owners of the same problem, as well as reports of brake shoes wearing out before 5000 miles and grinding noises. Subaru has been contacted and chooses to use the excuse "it is only a problem of appearance" when in fact the rotors, a vital piece of a major safety component of the vehicle is defective and potentially unsafe. We demand a recall and replacement of the defective rotors. Subaru's flippant and ridiculous attitude is irresponsible. Please force them to fix this obvious mechanical defect.
