The contact owns a 1999 Subaru Forester. While driving 40 mph, the contact depressed the brake pedal to avoid a dog. The vehicle would not stop and crashed into a telephone pole. The police arrived and filed a report. The vehicle was towed to a repair shop. The insurance company investigated the failure and informed her that this was a maintenance issue, rather than a safety issue. The Subaru manufacturer stated that his VIN was not included in the recall. The recall number was unknown. The current and failure mileages were 100,000. Updated 03-25-08 updated 03/25/08
