| 2002 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | I DRIVE A 2002 SUBARU IMPREZA WRX MANUFACTURED IN FEB 2001. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 3 MONTHS. I NOTICED THE FAILURE DURING THE FIRST DAY THE TEMPERATURE DROPPED BELOW FREEZING. THE FAILURE IS DESCRIBED AS A VERY STRONG SCENT OF NOXIOUS FUEL INTO THE PASSENGER CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE SCENT IS PRESENT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED WITH A COLD ENGINE AND THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW FREEZING. THE SCENT DISSIPATES AFTER 5 MINUTES OF RUNNING THE ENGINE. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THESE CONDITIONS ARE PRESENT WHICH CAN BE MULTIPLE TIMES DAILY. THE CONSEQUENCES TO DATE HAVE SIMPLY BEEN DISCOMFORT BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT LONG TERM EXPOSURE MAY HAVE LASTING DAMAGE TO MY AND MY PASSENGERS LUNGS AND EYES. SO FAR I HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY CORRECTIVE ACTION AS THE DISCUSSION FORUM AT WWW.NASIOC.COM HAS MANY POSTINGS DESCRIBING FAILED ATTEMPTS OF FIXING THE PROBLEM BY SUBARU TRAINED MECHANICS. *NM |

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME VEHICLE FISHTAILED DUE TO ABS FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HIT A BRIDGE, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITH SUCH FORCE THAT IT SHATTERED THE SHATTERED PROOF WINDSHIELD. *AK |
