We were driving to our summer vacation destination, which was about a 2-hour drive from where we currently live, when it happened. We had been driving for about an hour now and I was in the left lane going approximately 60 MPH when out of nowhere all of the warning lights flashed on my dashboard, including the "check engine light".

I leased this car late march 2019 and from day one I smelled a gasoline like odor when turning on the car for the first 5 to 10 min. I've had bmw forn10 years and subaru is new to me. I thought the smell was normal because it's a 4WD.
