What to do when brake, cruise and vehicle dynamics control flashing?

Asked by tas Jul 28, 2021 at 07:49 PM about the 2011 Subaru Outback 2.5i Premium

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Recently bought a second-hand 2011 Subaru Outback 2.5i with no record of
incidents/call backs/accidents took it to Autoshop for stuttering and tail light
check up. Was told there was also an issue with passenger-side struts and
planned to bring back for repair later.

When I drove back home the brake, cruise and vehicle dynamics control
started flashing and car stuttering/feeling bad when slowing down or
stopping (was not doing this before I brought it to the autoshop). Immediately
took back to autoshop but they can't book me for another month.

In the meantime ran the scanner it gave me error codes C0057, C0045,
C0044, PO172 and PO700. Plus coolant sensor and cruise sensor keep
popping up. What should I do?

I wish I could but at the moment the car is now at a total standstill. When I tried to drive it again the engine completely cut off and the nearest mechanic is an hour away. I would have to tow it there but for now, I'm just trying to calculate how much these codes are going to cost me in repairs and debate if I should just sell the car or invest.
