| Description of the problem | While driving, three dash lights turn on-abs light, traction control light, and hill assist light. When this happens, anti-lock brakes no longer function along with traction control and hill assist, furthermore, the brake lights do not illuminate. The part was replaced by subaru when under warranty. It has happened numerous other times since being replaced. However, the dash lights will reset when the car is turned off, but they always come back at some point. The part replaced was the brake light stop switch. I have researched this problem online and found that many subaru wrx drivers experience the same problem. This is unsafe and needs to be addressed by subaru. |
