My BMW had the same issue with the headlights and I had to go back several times before they replaced them with non-defective parts. These condensation problems don't usually show up until the cars are exposed to the elements over time, which is usually why they aren't noticed until customers put a few miles on the car. Usually the parts they use to replace the defective parts are already in the distribution cycle before they have a chance to replace them with non-defective parts. That's why you got one original and 2 replacements of defective taillights. Your dealership may have already had the lights in stock so they unknowingly replaced them with more defective parts. Toyota/Subaru will just need to make sure to replace the "already distributed defective parts" and have the dealerships send back any parts that fall under a certain numerical identifier.
My BMW was an 2008 135i so it was one of the first off the production line and
Like Toyota/Subaru, BMW quickly made a TSB and the issue was cleared up within about six months, which by then everyone with a new 135 would have had their oil change service and therefore had the TSB completed at the same time.
Hang in there and don't write this wonderful car off so quickly. This is just one of the pains of being one of the first year production FRS/BRZ owners. And as for the dealership service depts, well...it's kind of expected. They implement TSBs all day long and your car is just one of many having some sort of TSB done. They follow the TSB and have a process to ensure reimbursement from the manufacturer. So until the manufacturer says, stop using parts xxxx, they just keep chugging along and use the parts they have in stock.
