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.

I understand what you're saying, but from a consumer perspective, neither dealers nor Subaru are taking any responsibility and the issue isn't being addressed. This would be a whole lot less of an issue if there weren't 10x more dead cars as a result of the recall than the valve springs it's supposed to be fixing, and they didn't wait until cars were out of warranty to issue the recall.
Subaru/Toyota share in some of the blame here.
