I agree with what you are saying about the overall approach in your last post though, seems the best way to go.
I have to say that the fact Subaru seems to be unwilling to step in and help means I would never purchase another car, or lawn mower, from them.

Agreed. We have owned 8 (would keep the 06 also) The reality is subaru can't be trusted on their suppliers and trying to copy gm with defective parts. No thanks. As badly as I want some of the features of the outback we will look elsewhere. When they did the recall they somehow made it so my shifter is not aligned properly. Also the local dealer walnut crap er creek was told by SOA to fix my to bearing that had been reported and neglected before. Instead they put the car back together. Subaru still offered the money to fix it, but now the job had increased by double. This was of course after they tried to give me the bullshit about how the spark plugs don't come out. Poor customer service, and frankly a 10 year old knows more accurate specs than the car sales people. I also find it ridiculous brz cars up to 18? have thrown codes and needed valve work on brand new cars. Do you think in 4 more years they won't have a recall or exploded motors? The new cars coming out e.g. outback are rumored to have drivetrain issues before they were even available for sale. My biggest thing personally is I don't put a lot of miles but my resale has lost 30 percent since this crap occurred. How will I be compensated? Can I join the class action in CA or is it only NJ?
GFY subaru.
