NHTSA Complaint #11438965 — 2021 SUBARU FORESTER

1. July 15, 2021 the brakes didn’t fully engage three times. Twice within 30 minutes while driving to work and once on my drive home. 2. Unknown 3. Yes. Car was at dealership put through all kinds of tests and field engineer checked it out. They had me come out on Monday, 9 August and drive it with the head mechanic while hooked up to a computer trying to see if the problem replicated. 4. Yes. 5. Yes. Eyesight technology picked up there was a problem – light came on, a text and an email were sent to me. Subaru got the message too. A specific issue was not identified at that time. Vehicle was towed to dealership three days later. Subaru’s field engineer was called into examine vehicle. Apparently, he saw something he didn’t like on a reading – it had to do with the AEB-autonomous emergency braking system. Dealership replaced the entire braking system and returned the car to my driveway on Monday, 16 August. I bought this car in February 2021 after much research to include the NHTSA recommendations.
