Brake Sensor Switch Fails Other Electricals

This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Subaru dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: Subaru thinks burning through a quart of oil every 1,000 miles or so is perfectly normal. That's a crude stance if you ask us.

This was the first time the problem occurred. When starting the car, or driving along normally, three warnings come on in the dashboard... (1) Traction, (2) ABS and (3) Hill Assist. Once I turn the engine off, they may or may not come back right away but will probably do so the next day.
I took it to the dealer twice but they said that I have to come when those lights are on, which was an issue because when the lights came on, I was driving out of town!
Finally, I did some research via Google searches and found that the problem was due to brake sensor switch. When I took the car to the dealer the third time, I took a print out of the results from my Google search. They did not readily accept it. They said that they would check and do what might be needed.
Finally, they said that they had to replace the brake sensor switch near the parking/hand brake. It was covered under warranty.
