Hey all,

I have a 2013 BRZ that has a VIN and production date outside of the recall, but I just experienced the valve spring failure. It is currently in my local mechanics shop with no compression in cylinder 4, stalling, dead. Can't drive, just loud angry noises if I try to start it.

My local dealerships have told me there is nothing they can do, my car is not part of the recall, it doesn't have the valve spring issue, etc. My car was produced in 6/13, and they claim the issue starts with cars in 7/13. Ridiculous.

Anyone have any experience with this, a contact who can help me? Advice? Feel like I am fighting an uphill battle and getting stonewalled on every corner.
