Weird things have been happening with my car, i know that someone is using the satellite radio port to tamper with the safety of my car. I took it to the shop it has a brand new engine in it, the steering light system flashing isn't even relevant to a problem that it could have. Everything listed on targeted cars, has happened with my car.

Bought used with 46k miles on it. Brakes have been weak ever since i got it. Has never caused an accident, but it sure has had me worried about getting stopped numerous times. Dealers blow me off when i ask about fixing it. Maybe premium pads? I think it's the hydraulics that are weak, don't know if pads would make a difference. This is straight stops from all speeds.

Regarding: subaru recall campaign wqk-47 / nhtsa recall no. 14v-311 / july 2014. The remedy for this recall is inspection and testing of the brake lines.
