Brake Light On Problems of Subaru Impreza Wrx

I was driving my 2016 Subaru wrx down a main road at about 11pm. I was in 3rd gear going 30mph driving straight when the car suddenly came to a grinding halt. I did not apply the brakes and since I was already moving forward in 3rd, the clutch was not pressed. The engine was still on once the car stopped as if nothing had happened at all, and the car stopped still centered in the lane and facing the correct direction 1/4-1/2 a block from when it stopped itself while I was still driving it. I have no idea if the brake lights even came to potentially warn other cars that it was suddenly stopping. I pulled off to the side of the road, turned off the car completely and then restarted it and drove straight home. Less than 24 hours later, the same thing happened again on a different road around 5:30pm. I was driving in 2nd hear going about 12 or 13mph in traffic when the car suddenly stopped without any speed changes or pedal movements. Again, the car stopped centered in the lane with the engine still on and no indication that anything had happened at all. I pulled off to the side of the road and restarted the car.

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.
