Recreational Vehicle Lpg Tank Valve/gauge Problems of Subaru Legacy

On June 6, 2019, we took our car in for regular maintenance and to perform two outstanding recalls that involved "software reprogramming" -- one for the fuel gauge (which apparently may not properly reflect low gas levels) and one for the head unit (which may fail to initialize and activate the backup camera). We had _zero_ problems with the head unit (or fuel gauge to our knowledge) prior to the recall work. Now the head unit fails to initialize for several minutes every few times we start our car -- the _exact_ issue that the recall was initiated to address. I am also concerned that the fuel gauge reprogramming may not have remedied that sensing error either. I contacted the manufacturer, which has instructed us to return to the same dealer to have them try to fix it again. We scheduled their next available appointment on July 3rd, but now have no confidence that the software reprogramming rolled out by Subaru actually remedied the manufacturing defects. Indeed, it appears to have introduced a defect into our head unit system.

The safety recall regarding fuel has been completed. I filled the gas tank with the gauge on half. I put 12 gallons in the 16 gallon tank. Yesterday I repeated this by again filling the tank with the gauge reading half. I put 11. 4 gallons in the 16 gallon tank. I also noted that the mpg calculator is now only using the data since the recall. Tire pressure would not register. I am not sure if there are any other systems affected by this recall. I feel that they vehicle is unreliable.

I took the car to the dealer for the recall on the fuel gauge. Supposedly the work was done. The website lists it as incomplete. I don't know what this means or what I should do about it. Please advise.

I think there is a potential recall problem with eyesight-equipped 2015 Legacy models. I took my car in several weeks ago because one day all of the hazard lights came on, including the abs light and the brake light (flashing red) on the speedometer gauge, the eyesight and the anti-skid light on the center console, and the check engine light, the adaptive cruise control light, and the lane departure light on the tachometer. I stopped driving it for two days while I waited for my service appointment day to arrive. The lights did not come back on when I drove it to the dealer. The service department kept my car for a day and said that the lights must have come on as an "attention getting device" to alert me that the car was about a quart low on oil (even though it was not quite yet time for my 6 month/6,000 mile oil change). After getting the recommended oil change, I drove the car without any problems for several weeks. This past weekend, the problem occurred again. All of the lights mentioned above came on and stayed on when I started it and pulled out of my garage. Based on my last experience, I drove the car anyway. Later in the day, when I turned the car on again, all of the lights once again came on and stayed on, except that this time the brake and the abs lights were not illuminated. The car can be driven, but cruise control and associated features (lane departure, etc. ) do not work when these lights are on. After driving the car with these lights on all day Saturday (including several complete shutdowns followed by restarts an hour or two later), the problem disappeared the next day, just as it did last month. I took pictures of my dash both times when the lights came on this past weekend. I can supply them on request. It has only been a few weeks and 1000 miles or so since my last oil change, so I think we can rule out that explanation.
