In my case, I've dropped it off at the dealer twice in the last 3.5 years:
Dealer drop-off #1 (after 1 year of ownership):
Symptom: GPS sometimes failed to get a lock- TSB: 15-158-12
- Fix: Dealer replaced GPS antenna bracket and updated software.
- Comment: Affected early units (I have one of the first 1k BRZs produced).
Dealer drop-off #2 (after 2.5 years of ownership):
Symptom: Occasional rattling from rear deck- TSB: 12-140-12 (maybe doesn't apply)
- Fix: Turn stereo up. Dealer applied TSB fix.
- Comment: Still does it now and then, so I don't think the popping TSB addresses the rattle. Whatever.
Sympton: Frozen/torn window strips- TSB: 07-79-13R
- Fix: Dealer replaced window strips and applied fix in TSB.
- Comment: New England winters + freeze/thaw cycles + automatic window movement when opening/closing door = bad combination
Symptom: Condensation in rear tail lights- TSB: 12-131-12
- Fix: Dealer replaced tail lights.
- Comment: This was only cosmetic, so I never worried about it. Since I brought the car in for the torn window strips and rear-deck rattle anyway, I got this taken care of too.
