2019 Subaru Ascent Brakes Problems

The parking/emergency brake lever was accidently activated while traveling at highway speed of 70mph. The lever is in a BAD location and close to where cell phone is charged, cup holders are and transmission shift lever. Cell phone charge cable caught on lever and LOCKED up rear brakes at 70MPH.

In a matter of 3 weeks, the ascent came to a complete stop in the middle of the road with no objects in view of the car on 2 different occasions. The anti-collision braking system initiated from approximately 35 MPH to a complete stop, thinking the fog was an object. This is extremely unsafe as the vehicle can stop at anytime, in the fog.

A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, MY WIFE STARTED THE CAR AND BACKED OFF A PARKING LOT. WHEN SHE PRESSED THE BRAKE AND FELT WIRED - THE BRAKE COULD NOT BE PRESSED DOWN AND FELT LIKE IT'S JAMMED SOMEHOW. THE CAR DID NOT STOP EVEN SHE SWITCHED THE CAR TO PARKING! IT EVENTUALLY STOPPED AFTER HIT A PARKED CAR BEHIND. BECAUSE THE SPEED WAS VERY LOW SO THERE WAS NO OBVIOUS DAMAGE TO BOTH CARS. BUT AFTER RESTARTED THE CAR, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON - RAB, EYE SIGHT, AT OIL TEMP, LOW TIRE PRESSURE, AND THE SUN ROOF AND SUN SHADE NOT WORKING.

Front brakes squealing at low speed stops. This was confirmed at the dealership when pulling into the service department. And, severe vibration and shuttering in the steering wheel and break pedal when applying brakes at high speeds.

I had brakes replaced in december 2020 with 50,000 miles on the car. For the last few weeks, I have noticed wobbling/pulsing when I press on the brake. Suspicious that it was the rotors, I had the mechanic who was doing my 60,000 mile service check the rotors.

Brakes shook violently at highway speed and while descending mountain. Took to dealer and they said this is a known issue. Had to replace brakes and rotors on all 4 wheels.

At about 13,000 miles the vehicle showed symptoms of warped front rotors. They were machined smooth. At 21,000 miles the symptoms returned and this time they front rotors and brake pads were replaced.

I purchased the subaru ascent 2019 in september of 2018. Recently while traveling at highway speeds and applying the brakes a strong vibration resulted while braking. I took the car to the subaru dealer and was told the rotors needed to be turned.

The brakes squeal, like metal to metal.this does not happen all the time. The rotors were replace at about 13,000 miles. I was told by the tech at the dealership the rotors need replaced again.

THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM IS INCORRECTLY IDENTIFYING PARKED CARS OR CARS EXITING THE FREEWAY IN AN ADJACENT LANE AS OBSTACLES AND SLAMS ON THE BRAKES. THIS IS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND AT SPEEDS AS LOW AS 30 MPH WHILE TRAVELING ON A CITY STREET. I'M TERRIFIED THAT I AM GOING TO BE REAR ENDED WHEN MY VEHICLE GOES FROM 70 TO ZERO MPH WHEN THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME BUT THE 'SAFETY EQUIPMENT' IS MALFUNCTIONING. I HAVE BEEN TELLING THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS WITH MINIMAL RESPONSE.

BRAKE FAILURE ON NEW CAR

AT 6700 MILES, THE BRAKES ARE ROUGH AND GIVES THE CAR A VERY BUMPY RIDE.

2019 SUBARU ASCENT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO BRAKE FAILURE. *LD *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 SUBARU ASCENT. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. AFTER TURNING OFF AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE INDICATOR DISAPPEARED AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. KOCOUREK SUBARU (2600 N. 20TH AVE, WAUSAU, WI) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,300. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

The break pads had to be renewed after 2.5 months because the ABS was engaging every time I used the breaks. At all speeds. 84,000 miles

This started with only 6k miles on 2019 ascent, the brakes ride extremely rough. Braking does are not as effective as they should be. This makes braking, give the car a bumpy ride as it decelerates and the driver an uneasy feeling.
