Automatic Emergency Braking problem #1

Rcn 07v043000.

Adaptive Cruise Control problem #2

Five years ago my "check engine" light came on and the cruise control light came on and it would not work. I took it to suberu in fort worth and they couldn't find the problem bu tsaid my gas cap was not sealing. God new one but didn't help. This year when I went to get it checked for regisration they woudn't pass it. Took it to mechanic who installeda new evaprotive vapor canister for $920. That didn't work but wouldn't try again. Later another mecanic said the problem was "not enough driving". (less that 100 miles a month. I have been driving the car with the check engine on an no cruise control for 6-7 years with no trouble, so it is a fault of the car's systems. I can't get it registered because of this problem. I can disconnedt the negative battery post briefly and the light goes off for a day or two. So what can you do for me? I love the car but hate the problem. I am 90, but that's not the problem.
