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.

Any and all makes and models can have individual parts issues. It happens. There is no perfectly built car.
The failure in the REPAIR of one small subset of one model year of one very particular model is not indicative to the whole range of the manufacturer.
There are far more 4+ year old Subarus out there that have never had an issue much less had an engine blow than there are that have.
The class action is for people that the REPAIR blew their engines not misaligned shifters.
The issues you had with the DEALER are not a Subaru item but a dealership one.
I know it sucks and is a pain in the ass but to condemn a whole manufacturer on this one teeny tiny thing (in the big picture) is just extreme.
