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.

The contact owns a 2009 Subaru Legacy. While driving 30 mph, the contact attempted to brake and the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. The contacted pumped the brakes, but nothing happened. The contact pulled the vehicle into a fuel station and had it towed to an independent mechanic. The mechanic diagnosed that the master cylinder needed to be replaced because the brake line was corroded and began to leak. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided a case number. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was recalled for the same failure five years ago, which was why Subaru would not repair the vehicle. The failure mileage was 121,000.
