I think any problems, even with a small population of cars, would be bad news for Toyota and their investors. Hell, the recall for the FR-S/BRZ instruction manual got more press than the average murder case, so I think this could qualify to be newsworthy.

ummm, no. Ive had two tacomas one of which was the first batch of 2005's and my 2010 im selling. about half what you said above is innaccurate, or assumption/speculation based upon emotion.
Id take the post below vvvv to heart. :wink:

You really have to take a step back and look at it from a 3rd person point of view without emotion tied into it. The only thing you can do right now is to take the car to the dealer and allow them to work on it (this gives you records which you can invoke lemon law with later on should you need to), call/write Toyota/Subaru about your issues, and keep records of everything. If you want to try reaching out to the media, that is up to you as well, but chances are unless they have an issue with their own test car, they aren't going to do much about it. What would really draw attention is if you were able to approach them with statistics. That's why it's important for folks to report it to Toyota/Subaru, but at the same time you can try to gather stats based on the user base here on this forum. You would have to know how many folks have issues, but also how many owners don't have issues to get a percentage of affected cars.
