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.
At around 14,000 miles the dealer told me the rotors had warped and needed to be turned. Again at about 22,000 I was told the rotors had warped and needed to be turned. I was told this was due to heavy braking, stop and go traffic or riding the brakes. I have another car with over 100,000 miles on it and the rotors have never needed to be turned, my driving habits not the cause of this problem. Subaru has not gotten back to me in over 2 months about this problem. I think this could be a very dangerous problem with this car.
The brake rotors on my 2005 Subaru have warped (all 4) at 14,000 miles producing a violent pulsating pedal and inefficient braking. This alone could cause some drivers to allow for insufficient braking distances causing a crash. It is now my understanding, after some investigation, that this is a "common" problem with this manufacturer for many years. The Subaru dealer cut the rotors under warranty but this should never have occurred at 14,000 miles.
