Shiv would not be in business of peoples cars starting breaking.

What broke was an assembly of hardware due to extremely poor manufacturing tolerances on Toyota's and Subaru's part. Plain and simple. Their manufacturing was so goddamn poor that even after the tech replaced the assembly once,. the light came back on again! What was wrong? The new part they put on was from an old production and had the manufacturer intolerance in them! The dealer actually told me this.. He literally reinstalled the same parts 2x and now it works.

They were trying to get rid of an older batch of assemblies in hopes that they were constructed correctly but at my expense of time and a car rental. The dealer billed toyota twice for the same installation.
No worries... I may have missed it, but when reading up on your post I didn't see if you had been monitoring the engine performance.

And I COMPLETELY understand your issue with the dealer. My local dealer really sucked in helping fix known issues with my BRZ that were minor... I'd probably be ready to slit throats if my car's engine failed and they weren't helpful. Then again, I didn't have a tune, and I can see why Subaru may have issues with that being in play as there is potential for that to cause problems. I can see both sides of the argument there...
