Lost Power on my Subaru Outback 2011 and Brake Light and ABS Light Came on

Asked by Robert Feb 05, 2022 at 05:32 PM about the 2011 Subaru Outback

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I just came out of a car wash, with the undercarriage also cleaned and within a
mile of driving the car lost power (but still could be driven) and the ABS and
Brake Light came on on the instrument panel. What is going on? Might it be
related to the car wash?

There may be a problem with one of the ABS sensors from the car wash and it's sending the stupid car into limp mode , cars used to be normal but like many things in todays world some of them can't handle adversity .
