I wouldn't however, put a ton of stock in what this guy said.....he could be just making it up. If anything, we've proven in this thread over and over that the reps haven't been correct in the information they've provided in the past.
If it is correct though....that's a fairly significant problem from a mfr's defect standpoint.

Agreed, he probably does not understand the significance of 5% and was being anecdotal with his knowledge of the situation. To him 5 sounds small.
I sincerely doubt Subaru/Toyota will ever give out the actual figures but it would be fascinating to know!
