The failures are not the result of the defect. At least not directly. The failures are purely upon the inadequacy of some dealers techs and the dealers themselves to address it. The dealerships are independently owned and are not corporate Subaru. Subaru is in no way obligated to step in and cover the dealership's screw ups. Everybody needs to understand the separation between the dealer and Subaru. Just because they sell their cars it does not make them the same company.
