Things like this are very very common with brand brand new cars. !st year early adopters always have to deal with a teething period where all the kinks and bugs get worked out. The car is awesome but if you fear this to the point that it is making you doubt buying the car I would wait until next years model then.
quick example being the 1st gen GTR with their exploding trannys when you lanuch too much
P.S. Its a Toyota built by Subaru so I wouldn't place any value on past Toyota reliability.
EDIT: While I agree that BlaineWasHere went a little nazi on you there I do think new members should not be allowed to post a thread until a certain post count cause the number of repeated threads make me think this is the 1st time any of you have been on a forum. Search... please its not that hard to use

1. I have purchased over a dozen new vehicles between my wife and I over the last 15 years or so. I only buy new. In fact, it is probably more than that because I went on a bit of a tear where I got a new car every 1.5-2 years.
2. I disagree that this degree of failure is common with a new car, at least, not a single one I have ever purchased has had the potential to fail in this manner. In fact, not a single of those cars had ever left me at the side of the road. Also, didn't the majority of those GT-R failures occur because of the user-initiated defeat of the stability control? That is not remotely close to this problem.
3. I have been using forums since late 1998 or so.
Never heard of it
I get the point, and will go away now and lurk from now on. Good luck with your 86's!
