ALMOST EVERY TIME I SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE AIRBAG SENSOR DOES NOT COME ON AT FIRST. I AM A 5'2", 120LB WOMAN. I HAVE TO WIGGLE AND SET ON ONE CHEEK JUST RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEAT, SOMETIMES LIFT MYSELF UP AND THEN SIT BACK DOWN AGAIN TO GET THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR TO SHOW ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THERE IS NOTHING UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT AS THE DEALERSHIP HAS BLAMED IT ON THAT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS RE-CALIBRATED THE SENSOR BUT I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. HEAVIER PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *KB

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY VEHICLE HAS STARTED TO LEAK FUEL AFTER COLD STARTS IN COLDER WEATHER (BELOW 50 DEGREES F). THE ODOR INSIDE THE CABIN IS ENOUGH TO GIVE ME A HEADACHE. ONCE THE CAR WARMS UP IT DOES DISSIPATE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED IT AS FUEL LINES LEAKING UNDER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. WITH PARTS AND LABOR THE BILL IS ALMOST $1000. AFTER DOING SOME "RESEARCH" ONLINE IT APPEARS THAT THIS A MORE WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH SUBARU'S, IT EVEN RESULTED IN A RECALL OF SOME WRXS IN SOME STATES... I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT SUBARU IS NOT ISSUING A TSB OR RECALL ON OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLES. *TR
