I'm not sure I'd call them 'wide-spread'. They appear to have about
100 cases of people experiencing the same "ice-mode" issue that Subarus
have been plagued with for a decade or so. Hard application of brakes on
bumpy roads confuses the ABS computer into thinking the wheels are locking
on ice, and it cuts braking force.
