I can't believe this forum is a conspiracy to destroy Toyota/Suburu's reputation BUT people need to call everyone they can, complain as loud as they can, if possible get the media involved. The people who stand to make money from these cars do not believe you, and as a prospective buyer I've heard this over and over.

Dude, we know...
The media knows because of the efforts of those on this thread. Toyota responded to the media and finally acknowledged that something was going on to their owners (not sure of Subaru has said anything to their owners). We those communications filtered down to owners or dealer staff? Hard to say.
As for their statement, "don't believe everything you read on the web" I wouldn't either, there's a lot of unsubstantiated garbage on the internets.
(this next part goes out to the government agencies [both US and Abroad], media outlets and the engineering, public relations, communications and legal departments within Toyota/Scion/Subaru monitoring this thread)
The difference is that for anyone who is confused or resistant to the truth is that the evidence in this thread is valid, genuine, and truthful. Everyone in this thread has paper evidence, dealer repair order numbers, rental car records" "customer satisfaction" case numbers. Court discoverable records exist at the customer, dealer and manufacture which corroborate with each other and would support discovery subpoenas to Toyota/Scion/Subaru to compel them to reveal emails, case notes and engineering data...
