2015 Subaru WRX 4dr Sedan

turbocharged 305hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD

75000 mi

US $1200
Bad caliper needed replacement 
8000 mi The hill assist light on the dash is on. As embarrassed as I am to say, I bought the car like this. When I asked the sales rep about the light being on, he told me it meant the hill assist was "on". When I put my truck in 4WD a light come on the dash so I thought OK...I'm good with it being on. I was looking up something totally different in the owners manual and found if the light on the dash is on the hill assist is not functioning. I was pissed. Anyhow it doesn't impact driving the car so I thought I'd wait till the next 5K maintenance trip to have it fixed. If it is malfunctioning, it will be a warranty repair.
