Description of the problem	Driving under normal conditions and started hearing something that sounded like fireworks under the hood of the car. I immediately parked it and researched. The issue appeared to be a failure of the seal on the direct injector for the fuel system. I had it repaired at the dealership where the car was purchased. That took several weeks since the issue doesn't cause the car to report a code or error. After weeks of failed exploration, i forced the dealership to look at what i suspected was causing the issue. They did and verified that it was a failed direct injector seal. Research has shown that this is becoming a more common issue with the subaru brz and scion frs, which are essentially the same car. Scion acknowledges the issue whereas subaru does not. The repair will typically cost anywhere from $1000 on up. But, in many cases, since there's no code, the dealerships send the car back on the road until the engine seizes up completely. A quick search of a car forum turned up fifty other cars having the same issue. This was just one forum. That would imply there are many other unreported incidents of a similar nature. I reported this to the dealership and through subaru customer service. But refuse to acknowledge the issue, and therefore deny it as a warranty claim.
