I actually had a buddy at a local subaru shop give it a whirl and his scanner pulled 2 codes

C1223 Malfunctioning ABS System
and
C1246 Master Cylinder Pressure Sensor

The code actually went off on its own, on the way to the dealership Lol isnt that typical but the codes were still stored.

He cleared them and we drove about 60 miles since. They have stayed off so far. We'll see how long that lasts.

The brakes work but before this light came on the brakes did lose their bite and feel. I cant remember exactly when it happened but the car used to have strong initial bite and a brake pedal pressure and feel that was more german car. It was great, the best "feeling" brakes of any sub under 50k I've driven.

The brakes still work but The best way to describe the brakes are they feel like an american truck. Again nothing wrong with em they just arent confidence inspiring and they dont have that bite at initial appication.

I have heard of many of these cars getting seized calipers but I dont see any noticible uneven pad wear yet.
