Dealer might just be slow right now. And if there's an enthusiast/owner who works in parts or service, they may have said hey, email all these guys, and we'll do warranty claims.

Get's revenue for the ddealer and the client isn't paying.

Haven't received any notice like that here. If you have the time, please go and see what the dealer has in mind. Then report back!

So one thing i've noticed is i've been running primarily Chevron with Techron 91 and every since i've gove through about 2 tanks (to get rid of all the 76 i've been using) i havnt experienced crickets for about two weeks when i used to get them every other day (depending on heat).

I just checked All Data for TSBs for the Scion and Subarus for 2016 and 2014 models and I don't see a TSB for this. If I get a little more time, I'll check all years.

Just checked, found one for crickets in the 13-14 MY. Replace the fuel pump, but from what I've read, that doesn't work.

I haven't had crickets for the past 20k miles. I always run 91 Shell at my local gas station.

I run Shell 91, maybe I'll try the Techron route.

The 17's have barely been available for a couple of months. About 5-6 weeks in the USA. Where are you hearing/reading these reports? Mine's at ~1400 miles driving it every single day, and so far, so good. Most people, from what I've read, didn't get the crickets on their 13-16's until at least a few thousand miles in, no?

It just doesn't seem like there are many out there right now, and even less that would've been driven enough to start getting the crickets?

I almost always run Shell 93 V-Power, a couple of times I filled up with Walmart 92 and I heard the chirping noise. It's a really annoying sound.

Fuel pump in the '17 MY was first used in the later '16s. There are already some conflicting reports, but you never know. I wouldn't keep my hopes up.

It took about 2000 miles before I first noticed crickets in my car. Now, 28,000 miles later, either I've tuned them out or never notice. Easily fixed by turning up the radio, and I consider the aversion to fast food drive thrus a health benefit.
