Do you think that software is just magically fixed overnight with a magic wand, no it is not. In a car which has to meet stringent emissions you cant just throw software fixes at a car, as they need to be tested. There are 100's of combinations of enviormental as well as driver inputs that have to be evaluated, along with actually FINDING where the glitch is in the software.
Since many cars not only subaru have this issue to some degree (Toyota etc) so thats telling me they may not know what is causing it. Look how long a recall action by the NHTSA takes, sopme of them can take well over a year, maybe 2. The first thing to do before fixing anything is to find the root cause of it. There are 1000's of lines of code, and 1000's of algorythms that need to be ruled out and disected. this is not going to happen over night. This may not even happen in a few months.

By trade I am a systems integrator of micro and macro electronics, so I understand the process does not happen overnight. My annoyance was the attitude of the dealer. They were informed of the issue prior and were to investigate it with my input. I would be surprised if there is a fix within 12-24 months.
I like this car and am a willing participant in helping the manufacturer investigate a potential issue.
