Description of the problem	When in heavy traffic and it was necessary to accelerate at a high rpm, the traction control light and check engine light come on and start flashing and the cruise control light also flashed. This is the 3rd time this has happened. First time all the lights went out, second time it happened my cruise control was disabled and the other lights continued to be on and flash and i had to take it the dealership to be "reset". Dealership told me it was a "computer" problem and subaru has not fixed it. Yesterday it happened again. Was able to let off accleration quick enough to keep it from locking out my cruise and causing all the lights to flash continually. *tt
