What's more, several members who have had the ECU reflashed or replaced said the fix didn't stop the problem from recurring, resulting in other engine fault codes and additional service lane visits.

Toyota and Subaru officials declined to say how many cars could be affected or how many complaints have been filed."
There have been about 8000 cars sold so at this point Subaru's calling the condition "extremely rare" is accurate. All of us in this thread just drew the short straws.

That being said, this issue with for everyone who's parts have been replaced, new ECU code introduced, and are still having issues; the root cause is probably much more serious than Toyota/Subaru are letting on
