Default So it broke down, again...

Pulled out the drive way, made my first left then it went into limp mode. I had it into Reeves last month for the same issue and the replaced an, "throw angle sensor relay." Tow trucks' on the way, i'll see what happens. Of course work is pissed i'am over a hour late and the Tow hasn't showed up yet... At least Reeves has the free rental so i can show up to work today sometime...
Anyone else have this problem with their 06 and up WRX? So far the reliablity factor is going down for my car. I had a SVT Focus before this, and it never broke down on me... Just saying... I know it's early in the game but does anyone know what the lemon law is? I might have to start keeping track, but i hope not.

i think your the only person who has had an unreliable subaru out of anyone that i know. subaru and reliability go together, but there is always an exception to every rule. truly sorry to hear about your troubles.

what the hell is a "throw angle sensor relay"?!!!
try to find out what it was that went last time? OBD-II scan for the code?
did you buy new or used? you are the only subaru owner, and I know a ton, to be having trouble with an non-screwed with subaru.

I've done several engine swaps which include heavy wiring and I've never heard or seen anything with a name even close to it...
