So... I pulled my car out of the garage. Started up, unlocked, everything normal.

The lights turn on (auto mode) and the ABS and traction system lights come on in the dash. When I hit my brakes the center stack lights dim and the clock fades out. When I release the brakes the clock comes back (correct time) and the lights come back to normal brightness.

Never seen anything like this, WTF.

Made an appointment to go to Subaru on the 24th as I will be out of town for a while but this has me pretty upset. Car has 20K on it. I have had it in the garage parked and not driven so much recently, but I take it out every other weekend or an occasional day of work just to keep it moving and enjoy it before winter. Once winter sets it will be in the garage with a trickle charger.
