So they did not help. Nothing resolved. I took the car home after having it sit at the dealer for over a week just for them to tell me that this is not a manufacturer defect and the damage must of been caused by driver habit. (What?!) they said the pads(parking brake shoes) were ridden beyond 90% of its life and completely failed, not a defect. Mind you, this car has 1850 miles and has been COMPLETELY BABIED. Also, I then called the direct dealership where the car was at, to ask what damage was done and an estimate. He then said the rear brakes needed to replaced along with my center console. Yes, my center console he said. He said my ebrake handle was damaged? Lol. Anyways he estimated me about "$600-$700" this is when I laughed and told him not to touch my car and that i was on my way to pick it up.

I drove the car home, brakes were fine. No odd vibrations from what I felt. Only thing was the ebrake not working at all. I'll have to take a look but I believe my brake shoes are gone...?

I filed with a complaint with the BBB and that's just the start. So disappointed in Subaru.
