This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Subaru dealer.
i had had my car for a month when the check engine light and traction control light went on and the cruise control went out. It was fixed the next day under warranty. The same thing happened one week later. It has now been in the shop for a week waiting for a Subaru gut with a laptop to apply a temporary fix to the computer. Today the same thing happened with the loaner car which I have had for a week now.

We bought our 2011 Forester to tow our tent trailer. And now it's suppose to be a teen car in a year as well. The dash lights came on out of nowhere. Cruise light flashes, tire traction light on steady, and Check Engine light on steady too. 3 dash lights on. What the heck. I took it to a dealer and all he did was re-set the computer and of course they ended up coming back on. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN SUBARU. We had one back seat belt child restraint recall and that's it. There have been a lot of other recalls on this model but not ours. I just called Subaru 800 number and then the dealer. I am going to take it in and pray it's not a fortune. I saw somewhere on line, that one guy also wanted it as a teen car and ended up trading it in for something else. If this issue doesn't get fixed we will do the same thing. Arrggghh I am NOT happy about this. It has 39,000 miles on it. It's just a joke. Oh, the one dealer said it could be bad gas. Well, I tried Chevron for awhile and that fixed it and then it came back on again. There's a problem somewhere. We thought Subaru was the one brand you could trust. NOT anymore.
