Techs at dealers can be trusted similar to salesman. They feed a bunch of crap to customers. When I read an official word from Subaru or Toyota, then its different.

Now go back to my post. As I said, neither the companies or the car are perfect. There will be cars that will have issues. I am just saying, some people are complaining about some silly stuff, just because it is the first time they hear it.

Now go back to my post one more time. I said when REAL problems arise, warranty work will be done. So, when this "Issue" is REAL, and a recall happens, I will gladly take my car to the dealer and get it fixed. At this moment, I will not worry about it and enjoy my car which is working great.
Not a problem, I fully understand.

Sure he can be making this ALL up, but I really don't think he is ..

So, to begin, the issues are NOT normal and need to be fixed. The technicians fixed some valves, readjusted cam angles etc.. but I will get the full repair specs Monday. They are also tracking my car tomorrow and Sunday to get full engine read outs for future FR-S owners. So as of Monday any of you experiencing this problem will have a fix, and a quick one at that.

I have not had my car for a month now because of this but I can tell you that as long as I know that future owners will not experience these problems it was well worth it. Good luck to everyone who has had this issue and if you are still experiencing this please take your cars to the dealership over the next month and your problems should be addressed a lot sooner than mine!
They've decided to give him a brand new FR-S for now while they use the older one as their experimental car to test what was wrong with it.

edit: there is also an err code and its an officially known problem, I can't recall what the number/code was for that either.
