1 Starter problem

Failure Date: 01/09/2020

Since 5/2019 my Subaru has been in for service 5 times due to the dashboard lights flashing while driving. The brake light, check engine light, and the cruise control light. My remote starter and radio do not work either. Each time it's brought in for the same problem I am given a different reason, charged a fee and sent on my way, until it happens again! getting a little tired of having my chain yanked. Subaru needs to do a recall for this recurring problem. My car ran fine until the passenger air bag was changed, due to a recall.
