I am having the same problem. Started shortly after my 60,000 mile service was done. I don’t know what it is or why. Anyone out there worth information?

I’m having the same problem with my 2014 forester which has 67000 miles on it. The shop I took it to said the ABS mechanism wasn’t communicating with the car’s computer. A new mechanism is $2300 and only a dealer can program it, so the mechanic recommended I go to the dealership and see if it could be under the manufacturer warranty still even if it’s over 60k in miles since it’s only 4 years old. I went to my local dealer and they first have to schedule their own diagnostic and from there they might ask Subaru for “assistance”paying for it. They told me since I am the second owner the car has had, that likely Subaru won’t help out very much. Hope you guys aren’t having the same issue as I am. My partner recently had all those lights come on in her Jeep and it was just a sensor replacement which was like $100 or something like that.
