Description of the problem	For some odd reason on monday, april 23 my check engine light came on, my awd indicator, and the cruise control light started flashing all at once. I came into work and googled the above items along with my make and model of the car... Much to my surprise multiple links, items, and threads appeared. So i read most of them and this appears to be a systemic problem with subaru's throughout the united states and canada. I became concerned because no recall was issued and it seems more than coincidence that many people are having the same issue. Please advise since i called the subaru dealer and they could have cared less.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
