2011 Subaru Outback 2.5i with same issue. CEL and VSC lights on steady.
Cruise control and BRAKES blinking, AT oil temp blinking after I drive a few
hundred yards. Had a guy at Autozone replace my low and high beams a
week ago. Gas tank on empty/red yesterday. Filled it with portable gas
container. Oil low today. Had oil and filter done today. Checked gas cap.
Seems okay. Had codes pulled at Autozone.

I think you have CVT problems. You can have Subaru check it out but the only fix for a fried CVT is a new one. Sit down before they tell you the cost!
Not the news I wanted to hear, F_O_R. Thanks for the info. I had the torque converter replaced with the dealer a couple of years ago. Could it be related. Also had timing belt done last year.
I presume that the mileage on your car is well over 100,000.....how many miles do you have..?
I know it is not good news. Just saying the way it sounds to me. I would press them for a new transmission which Subaru should pay for since their CVT's are junk.
Car has 160,000, but there is a bulletin out for this exact issue. Bringing it to Subaru tomorrow to see if it will be taken care of.
Just had the valve body replaced for free under a bulletin that will expire in 2020. All lights out. Everything working as it should.
