Also, from what I was told, repair time was about four days for that car. I've wondered if the car made a return trip to the dealer as it was one of the first repairs before Toyota/Subaru really figured out the ECU update. |

Am I alone in wondering if the super speedy repair time of 4 days has anything to do with the fact that the dealer and Toyota knew this car belonged to CR?

Mine took 7.5 days. It was two weeks ago I got it back and now 500 miles later all appears good. I admit I'm still a little weary about it ever being an issue again; but, each day that weary lessens a little. By the way, only the ecu was replaced.

Guess whaaaaaaaaaat? After 600 miles my idle was going crazy today in the same way that it was doing before(this is 600 miles after my ecu was replaced & reflashed). No CEL yet, but I'm expecting to have one soon.

We have to remember that for the cars affected we're part of a stop loss calculus. The more money you loose for Toyota/Subaru the more they're going to pay attention to this problem, and to you.

brianlo622, FR-S, 13XX miles, 7096XX.
CEL and SL light came on on day 28 after I purchased the car, limp mode. Have been driving her in limp mode for the last 2 days, scheduled to take her in to the dealership tomorrow. Silly service advisor kept on saying "I bet its your fuel door cap" and I said "no.. please arrange to have a courtersy car for me" |

little update: got the call this morning to go and pick up the car after 4 days in the shop. Got over to the dealership and the moment the car was started the CEL SL came back on. SMH. Walked back in and just handed them the key again. *sigh* All they did was re-flashed the ECU. I told them that there's more to it than that but no one wanted to listen. So this would be 2 out of 4 service for lemon law.
