What owners wrote

This complaint is potentially related to NHTSA recall id number :19v149 while we have not noticed break lights not operating properly, the vehicle has been rear ended twice, in 2017 and in 2018, possibly indicating that break switch was intermittently faulty.

Reported at 55,000 miles, November 2018 Crash

This car was repaired under campaign 19v149000 on july 27 for the brake light switch issue. Since the repair of the recall, I have taken my car back to international subaru in tinley park, il for follow up service related to the replacement part. The problem I've encountered on a number of occasions is the car alerts that there is an issue stating "hill start assist system needs to be checked" while the car is in motion.
