Description of the problem	My 09 wrx, purchased in october, spun a bearing rod just over a month ago (had 6001 miles on it at the time). I live at altitude (8200 ft) and drive a roughly paved mountain road each day. This is not good on my tires, not one bit. Mike shaw subaru in thorton, colorado has finally gotten around to fixing the car. Took them one month, and i had a rental car for one week, but, they replaced the turbo and engine. One major however here. Let me quote my mike shaw paperwork- that i refused to sign- "this repair is not covered by subaru's limited warranty due to the abusive or aggressive driving habits and/or vehicle modifications." because of tire wear? Really? Now, my warranty is shot for any future engine work, the dealership itself told me. I refused to sign any of their papers, and will be aggressively pursuing litigation if i do not get this decision reversed or at least have someone knowledgeable explain to me how i 'abused' my car. I went above and beyond the break-in period (2k miles before it ever hit any substantial, sustained rpm). The vehicle history report will kill me when/if i try to sell this car. I also warmed the car up for a full 10 minutes before even remotely pushing the car between 2k and 6k miles. What this came down to was them telling me, verbatim, that "9/10 of these cars with this issue have come in due to driver error". Are you kidding me? This was from the same people that wanted two proofs of oil change in the first 5,970 miles before they would proceed with changing my engine. I provided one, and they relented, but the sheer absurdity is the issue at hand here. I called soa and am still waiting for a return call. Perhaps i will endlessly hit redial in an effort to redeem my warranty, or perhaps i will do my absolute best shedding light on this defective 09 wrx issue via every other means available.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
