I'm sure SCT worked hard to get the latest firmware released & up on their website by this weekend, but there are obviously still some issues if WRX's ECU is now dead, & mine won't update to the latest firmware. If I were to do this over, I'd hold off for now.

Chris I understand from your point of view that failure rates are low, but when you're the car owner this is the type of thing you expect zero failure on. This isn't like a lightbulb that goes bad and you replace it immediately with a $.25 bulb. You're talking about a $20k+ car that people depend on to get them from point A to B and causing an ECU failure isn't something you can fix in less than a couple minutes and isn't cheap. We've had at least five ECU failures, two of which look like will need replacing. And that's only what's being reported on the forums.

I second this Chris. 5 people reporting similar issues in 30 days that put them into a no-start condition. 3 of them regulars on the forums. This isn't a virus we're spreading talking to each other online.
This appears to be something worth AM looking into and at least acknowledging. This is becoming a major PITA for me.
