FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS RESEARCHING THIS SITE FOR SOMETHING ELSE WHEN I CAME UPON COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TOXIC SMELL OF GASOLINE/FUEL WHEN STARTING UP CERTAIN SUBARUS ON EXTREMELY COLD DAYS. I LIVE IN COLORADO AND THE SMELL OF FUEL IS AWFUL WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED IN THE WINTER AND I CAN SOMETIMES SMELL IT WHILE OPERATING THE CAR. I HAVE A 2005 SUBARU IMPREZA WRX. MY CAR HAS HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS: BEARINGS IN THE TRANSFER BOX FAILING TWICE, THE FUEL PUMP FAILED (ON THE HIGHWAY NO LESS, WHERE I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A TRUCK BECAUSE MY CAR LOST POWER SO QUICKLY). THE RADIATOR WENT...THE TURBO FAILED. MY CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN DUTIFULLY MAINTAINED. IF THIS FUEL SMELL IS SERIOUS I HOPE SUBARU WILL HANDLE IT AS SUCH BUT MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE LOCAL DEALER AND SUBARU CORPORATE HAS LED NOWHERE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE WILL NOT START AFTER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF ATTEMPTS. APPEARS TO HAPPEN MOST OFTEN WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED (EITHER INDOORS OR OUTSIDE) FOR MORE THAN SEVERAL HOURS. CAR WILL CRANK OVER FOR 10+ SECONDS AND WILL NOT START. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS, CAR HAS STARTED EVENTUALLY. HAVE COMMUNICATED WITH DEALER AND SIA OFFICES THAT I HAVE NOTICED THE CAR WILL MAKE WHIRRING NOISES THAT COME FROM THE BACK RH SIDE OF VEHICLE - AND ALSO A CLICKING NOISE NEAR CENTER OF DASH WHEN TURNED OFF AND SITTING. THIS WILL GO ON FOR OVER 5 MINUTES AT A TIME, WHICH MUST DRAIN BATTERY SINCE CAR IS NOT TURNED ON OR ENGINE RUNNING. WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT THIS IS THE EMISSION SYSTEM "PURGING" ITSELF - AND IS CONSIDERED NORMAL FOR THIS VEHICLE. SIA OFFICES CONFIRMED THIS AND ALSO STATED THAT NOTHING IS NOTED IN THE CURRENT OWNERS MANUAL WHICH EXPLAINS THIS FEATURE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE CAR IS UNABLE TO START WHEN REQUIRED TO - AND AM GUESSING THAT IT MIGHT BE RELATED TO THIS UNUSUAL FEATURE... . REGARDLESS OF ORIGIN, SAFETY ISSUE WITH CAR NOT STARTING AND BEING READY TO OPERATE WHEN NORMAL STARTING PROCEDURES ARE FOLLOWED. *TR
