The bigger concern is their current stance on the issue. If they continue to deny warranty repairs due to "racing" and "abuse" then if this does get bad you will have a hard time selling the car to anybody that is actually following it!

This 100%

I know Subaru (& Toyota) will make it right if a defect exists. But determining the cause comes first.

I have a ton of first hand knowledge of how Subaru's, and warranties, work...and just because someone is screaming online about how they were wronged by a warranty denial...the manufacturer usually has the facts and data to support their decision. If the dealer made a mistake, the manufacturer will correct it.
