Problem overview

Some Subaru Impreza owners report experiencing issues when the engine light, road skid light, and cruise light illuminate simultaneously, often accompanied by stalling when not using both feet. These warning lights may indicate that a check engine code has been stored, which disables the cruise control until the underlying problem is resolved. Additionally, some owners find that bad ignition coils can lead to engine performance issues, triggering the check engine light. Ignoring a consistently illuminated check engine light can result in significant problems and increased repair costs, making it crucial to address these issues promptly. Furthermore, some owners note that higher RPMs can lead to increased fuel consumption, which may not be ideal for long-distance travel. It is advisable for owners experiencing these symptoms to have their vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and resolve the specific issues to avoid more severe problems in the future.
