1 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 12/02/2019

Traveling on highway, approximately 60 mph, tapped brakes and anti locks activated, immediately afterwards entire dashboard lit up with every warning light possible on the vehicle. I took the first exit, traveling approximately a quarter of a mile from start of incident, into a parking lot, directly off the highway, when the car shut down. Tried multiple times to restart the car- it would catch and then shut off. Ended up getting it towed to my home dealer. The cause is unknown. It appeared to be a catastrophic failure of the computer which caused the entire cars systems to shut down. Pictures show dash lit up and screen shot of �my Subaru� app which indicated only some of the warning lights, although all lights were lit.
