Is this previous negative experience with your Subaru dealer/corporate or just an assumption of reading off the forums of a select few vocal owners who have had bad experiences with Subaru?

Honestly, you can't always take ranting from owners as 100% straight truth on a forum. There is always two sides to the story and possibly more variables that have gone unmentioned. It also depends on how an owner goes about working with them. Yes, hearing warranty denial stories might cause you to be wary but jumping to conclusions and assumptions can be unfair.

Basically, you never truly know until you've dealt with them. I'm not condoning you going to the dealer and try to con them but try and be up front and see what they say. You've already faced the fact they might not pony up to your mistake so it doesn't hurt to try and ask. Maybe you might luck out and have an exceptional dealer.
