QA will never be foolproof as you dont output that many examples to determine bugs with vs when you go to the masses (its not cost viable.)
Furthermore... this is a 30-40K car... in effect you're buying towards the bottom of the food chain (despite the 86's current hero status) its not a 200K Merc/Audi/Beamer
And lastly... the amount of confirmed/suspected cases vs the overall scheme of things.. i would as a finger in the wind guess say is well under 5% of cars in the market.
I'm curious as to how this is a major failing on toyota/subaru... its just sensationalist journalism because of the publicity the 86 has had they know it will attract attention > Readers > advertising $$'s

The funny thing is those high Germans generally have more issues then our 86s are currently having. I am expecting the motor to go bang but then again this is what warranty is for.
