My Forester 2008, 2.0, non turbo, manual trans, has the same problem for months. I have tried to change the culprit rear right brake bands, then to cut both edges in every band, but nothing works. Reading about it, seems the fail is on the ABS system. I have exact the same problem as you: after 15-20 minutes driving, the problem appears. I read someone extracted the ABS module, put it on a cardboard box and with a heat pistol, heated the module for a while. That trick solved the problem. I will do the same when I have the time and the heat pistol available (now I have only the box ;). I would like to know if you could solve in other way that problem? Thank you!

My Forester 2008, 2.0, non turbo, manual trans, has the same problem for months: when I first start driving the car, it starts off pretty well, but after about 15 minutes worth of driving my brakes start to feel tighter and it gets harder for my car to accelerate. I have tried to change the supposed culprit rear right brake bands, then to cut both edges in every band, but nothing works. Reading about it, seems the fail is on the ABS system.
