^This...If the problem is documented they have to honor it.
I went through the same crap with my LGT and the well known reflash issue. Subaru of SC aknowledged there was a problem, but SOA would not. SC would tell me that my ecu wouldn't accept an updated reflash, while when I talked to SOA they claimed it already had the update (my car was built a year BEFORE the latest update lol.) Long story shorter I *****ed enough and the finally replaced the ECU...

Got an attorney. Norman Taylor and Associates... They wrote the lemon law for California, and they are the best, period. Only problem, I bought my car in New Mexico, so I would have to sue there. And, lemon law is based off 120,000 miles in Ca. So even if I win they divide value of car by 120,000 miles, so my car is only worth about $2,000 dollars if you do the math, so I am screwed.

Sounds like you know these guys... I really dont have a problem with Subie of SC, Ronnie, and Mark are good guys. They didn't go to bat for me over the two and a hlaf years I have been dealing with this. But Will told me that subaru says I should use 15-50 oil, which is a lie. I saw Robert test driving my car through a yellow light at +20 miles over the speed limit. (and he told me my motor issues were my fault for not breaking my motor in)
