| 2004 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS | I OWN A 2004 SUBARU IMPREZA WAGON WRX WITH 67,000 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM SOMEONE IN NM AND I LIVE IN COLORADO SPRINGS, CO. IT HAD NO ISSUES IN THE SUMMER AND FALL BUT IN THE WINTER I HAD A FUEL SMELL IN CABIN WITH HEATER RUNNING DURING A COLD DAY ~15 DEGREES F OR BELOW. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FLUKE BUT IT NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME I START THE CAR IN THE MORNING, EVENING OR WHEN ENGINE HAS COOLED DOWN AND IT IS REALLY COLD OUTSIDE (LESS THAN 20 DEGREES F). I CALLED A LOCAL SUBARU DEALER AND THEY SAID AROUND $500.00 TO FIX ISSUE. SEEMS THE RUBBER HOSES ON THE FUEL RAILS CONTRACT WHEN IT IS VERY COLD OUTSIDE. I HAVE SEEN ON THE WEB THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING IN 2002 WRXS AS WELL. I CAN'T BELIEVE SUBARU HAS NOT DONE A RECALL FOR THIS SERIOUS ISSUE! THE FUEL SMELL GIVES ME A HEADACHE AND POLLUTES THE ENVIRONMENT. I WOULD TRY TO FIX MYSELF BUT GETTING TO THE FUEL RAILS REQUIRES EXTENSIVE TOP SIDE ENGINE TEAR DOWN.*JB |
| 2002 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | MY 2002 SUBARU HAS GAS FUMES IN THE CABIN WHENEVER THE WEATHER IS COLD. THE COLDER THE WEATHER THE STRONGER THE FUMES. SUBARU IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, THE HAVE A BULLETIN ON THIS VERY ISSUE, HOWEVER THE DEALER REFUSES TO COVER THIS ISSUE. OVER THE PHONE THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS CONFIDENT THAT SUBARU WOULD NOT COVER THIS ISSUE. HE INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS JUST FUMES LEAKING. KNOWING A LITTLE ABOUT HOW GASOLINE IS IGNITED, I KNOW THAT THE FUMES ARE WHAT COMBUSTION, AND THAT IS WHAT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT. IF SUBARU IS SO CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY, ONE WOULD THING THAT EXPLOSIVE FUMES WOULD BE ON THEIR LIST. HOWEVER BOTH SUBARU OF AMERICA, AND SUBARU OF ANNAPOLIS DID NOTHING TO REASSURE ME THAT THIS WOULD BE COVERED. WHEN I CALLED SUBARU OF AMERICA AGAIN, THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT ANOTHER DEALER AND SEE WHAT THEY WOULD DO. THIS IS THE LAST SUBARU I WILL EVERY BUY! *JB |
