I feel for you.. I'm sure it's not pleasant being in your situation.. But something's just take time to work out.. Hopefully they gave you something else to drive.. But I can understand your frustration.. Especially since it's been ongoing for some time.. Hang in there..

No need to speculate, most auto manufacturers try to get out of it when a car is used to it's limit, everyone from Kia to Ferrari has disclaimers in their warranty. There's legal precedent that if a car is used for competitive events the manufacturer does not have to perform warranty service for issues that arise due to more strenuous use. Good luck trying to find a sports car that didn't have any concerning issues at some point. Mustangs had exploding driveshafts, Porsche had IMS bearing failure, hell even the legendary Miata has the stiff second gear that people complain about with the 86.

It is indeed a pain to get his one taking care of. I bet everything will work out in your favor. This is a new engine from Subaru so I wonder if Subaru mechanics are really any better than Toyota mechanics. Indeed it's a boxer motor so you figure Subaru mechanics would have the upper hand. I could be wrong. Anyway you will get everything you paid for working again or something new. I had a TRD SC on my 05 tC that blew after about 1 year of having it installed. The tC was in the shop for an entire month getting repaired. Mostly because of warranty red tape the dealership had to cut through. In the end they ate the cost and the second SC has been on the car for 7 years now without issues. So all will work out just fine.

So I was at a local convenience store and I was looking over at a AE86 that the shop next door had and when I look over to the other side of my car I got someone trying to get my attention. So I roll down the window and the guy starts telling me he has the same color FR-S and if I've had any problems because his had the same problem as ours coil problems. He said the dealership did a swap on the coils (put 3 in 4 and 4 in 3. something like that) And it worked for a week or so then he had TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE! so to this the Stealership told him since he missed his first oil change with them that they wouldn't cover it under warranty but that SCION was nice enough to give him a new motor BUT he will have to pay for instillation. WORST part is that he told me the dealership he got it at and it's the same place I got mine and the person "helping" him is my same service manager so I hope my engine doesn't blow cause I'll be getting the same exact run around. Instillation he said came out to about $2k.

I can not imagine he would pay for the labor if the warranty covered the parts. That's an open and shut case in any courtroom.

According to the dealership the warranty didn't cover the parts due to him missing the oil change... but Scion was nice and just gave him another motor, I personally feel the dealership if full of shit because the motor is out of the car right now and when he said he didn't have $2,000 they said they could put it back together like it was and give it back broken... SO they will do the labor for free with the broken motor but not the new working one.

^Horseshit. So the dealer admits they were totally incompetent and ruined his motor but because he missed a 60-80$ oil change they will be "nice" and give him another motor but not cover the install? He could just say he did the service himself.

Bet its more like "I had fi'd my car and the motor ate it and i uninstalled everything but the dealer won't give me another free motor and now im screwed 'cause i spent all my money on said go fast parts"

I assure you Scion would not "give" him a motor if the dealership said it wasn't a valid warranty claim. They're not in the business of giving shit away for free and Subaru charges them a hefty premium on service parts.

Glad the dealership I got my BRZ from has some great people working in the service department. I had a small issue with the oil filter being the wrong one and they tried to get around it by telling me there was a superseding filter, but even that one was still not the one installed. They got a nice call from SoA and things were fixed from then on. If they try charging you for install, contact Scion and on the phone if you can as well as emails (proof) and see where that goes. Do not let them push you around either because if you agree to things they are going to keep digging deeper until they do not have to fix jack. Best of luck man, I hope they do not charge you for install.

They already gave him the motor but want him to pay for install. So from what people are responding the warranty covered the motor and the dealership is still trying to get $2000 out of him by saying warranty wont cover "install" but they are really just trying to charge him for the motor.

And as for saying that he did the oil change himself, the dealership said if he didn't have a receipt for the oil and filter that they wont take his word for it.
