And the plot thickens!
FR-S catches fire?

I picked up my FR-S 2 two weeks ago and this is now a full week without it. The miss fire in the engine caused the exhaust to fill with gas and then burn. The whole left end of the car melted off the back and melted most of the spare tire foam. Now I'm stuck with out a car for another few weeks due to back ordered parts. Has anyone else had a Engine issue like this yet?

They Asked me allot of questions. They had told me they had engineers fly in over night and then they two days later called Subaru. So it seemed pretty serious. They said the gas was making pretty far back but not to the muffler just was so hot it still melted.

I HAVE IT!!! The official word from the engineers from Toyota, the VVT failed, In turn led to the fuel not buring and going into the exhaust system and then finally burning off in the converter. Apparently there was a solenoid and the actuator not within the tolerance levels.
