So far the failure rate of forum-involved individuals appears to be quite low; but as to the true failure rate, only Toyota/Subaru know. As most are speculating, this problem seems to appear after hard use (perhaps prolonged use as well) and it is unsettling that there is some potential for this problem to become significantly more widespread as the years go by.

For now, this problem could just be an unfounded fear that will not affect the masses, or it can become the automotive equivalent of the boogeyman, crapping on all our hopes and dreams...
