1 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 12/31/2020

I believe all of the following circumstances to be caused by an electrical problem: Dec. 31, 2020: car hesitates to start. It never turns over so it does not ever start. We install new battery & car starts. Mid-Jan. 2021: car won't start from push start, but does start when I use my remote start key fob. After that, car starts with push start. Feb. -April 2021: car has a several times when it hestitates to start, but ultimately it does start. May 1-3 2021: car hesitates to start, but ultimately starts. May 4-5 2021: car not only hesitates to start, but now I have all kinds of lights lit up on my dash, including check engine, eyesight, x-mode light is flashing, and several others that I cannot get to turn off. In all instances, vehicle was stationary and turned off. I have photos & video but can't seem to reduce file size to required 5mb. Side note: unless I am at work or running errands, my car is always in the garage.

2 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 04/08/2017

Driving back to michigan from florida, my 2017 Subaru Outback (6000 miles) stalled twice unexpectedly in heavy traffic conditions on i75. The vehicle was in stop and go traffic when it stalled. I coasted to the median, placed the car in park and restarted the engine. (both times) the condition has not repeated itself since, now has (7800 miles). Subaru dealership could not replicate the problem and Subaru customer service cannot resolve the issue.
