As long as you word it correctly anything falls into place. The lemon law only works for so many miles then your screwed. I plan on taking action with the lemon law if mine continues. They are obligated to give you a NEW car or all your money back. So we will see.

I have been down the lemon law path before in Virginia with VW (car was in the shop more than 30 days within one year of ownership). It is not nearly as you are making out to seem and, again, you would have to prove that the crickets (at least in Minnesota, but most states are similar) were "substantially impairing" your ability to drive the vehicle, or the crickets would have to have "caused the complete failure of the steering or braking system and which is likely to cause death or serious bodily injury".
You can certainly try to go to arbitration for this, but good luck. I would not even waste my time.
I will definitely complain to both my dealer and Subaru America, but expecting to get Toyoya or Subaru to replace your car for something this minor is not being very realistic. Every car I have ever owned has had quirks. If the worst thing this car has is some intermittent crickets I will be happy.
A new car would be useless. All of the cars have this issue in the US (or the potential to have the issue). They all use the same HPFP.
