I have difficulty with starting my legacy. Yesterday it took 6 tries before it turned over. I took the car to dealer today because the check engine light was on, the brake light and the cruise control light were blinking. I was told it was my gas?? I have a son who is a mechanical engineer and he said that is impossible and that there is an issue with the electronic component. Has anyone else had similar problems.
