Your Crosstrek Hybrid's fuel tank may corrode from regular fuel, causing clogs in the vapor vent tubes that trigger occasional check-engine lights and disable safety features like pre-collision braking and rear cross-traffic warnings. Subaru has acknowledged this as a known issue with a technical service bulletin but has not issued a recall, and the repair is expensive. When the check-engine light comes on, your safety features are disabled until the problem is diagnosed and repaired, which could involve replacing the fuel tank and fuel system components.
