Reverse lights and rear view camera will not turn off. They stay on in drive, neutral, park and the manual mode. I've been to the Subaru dealer and another mechanic and they cannot resolve without major labor hours to look into the issue. This is extremely dangerous. Cars behind me will believe I am reversing into them since the lights are always on (they may decide to take unnecessary evasive action). This is also blinds drivers who are behind me as the bright reverse lights are always on. Something needs to be done about this. This is not safe. This happens in motion, in park, etc. I've done no modifications to this car and this car has never been jump started. I would be happy to upload videos of this incident occurring as I have many. With the reverse camera staying on the car's infotainment center is rendered useless. This is also extremely distracting while driving as you have to deal with a constant video feed of what's behind you.
