Forum goers and Facebook posters tend to be enthusiasts who mod and break their cars while LOVING to talk about it. I'd be surprised if engine failure rates on these cars with fully stock engines, electronics and drive lines is anywhere close to being high or unexpected for a brand new platform.

We have seen failures on this forum with non-modified engines. This forum likely represents a small fraction of owners. So, I wonder how many failures have occurred since 2013 that we never heard about. It could be significant. Only Subaru/Toyota know for sure.
As time goes on if we see the dealers fixing these engines more willingly than they did at first, I believe that will be a signal that Subaru is realizing there is a design issue with this engine. But of coarse they will never tell you that.
