| 2002 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS | THERE IS A KNOWN INTERNAL TSB BEING CIRCULATED BY SUBARU OF AMERICA ABOUT THIS VERY PROBLEM. PRICING HAS RANGED FROM $650.00 AND UP. THIS IS A HAZARD AND A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. I SHOULD NOT BE MADE TO PAY FOR A PROBLEM THAT IS RECURRING AMONGST HUNDREDS OF WRX OWNERS. FUEL LEAKS FROM A LINE ONTO THE ENGINE. TWO DANGERS EXIST, 1)POSSIBLE IGNITION OF THE RAW GASOLINE DUE TO PROXIMITY TO ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. 2)POSSIBLE EXPLOSION IN VEHICLE CABIN DUE TO ACCUMULATION OF DENSE GASOLINE VAPORS. IN ANY CASE IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR A SMOKER TO SUSTAIN THEIR HABIT WHILST INSIDE THIS VEHICLE. THE CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPOR ARE 10X THAT OF A GAS STATION. CLEARLY THIS SHOULD AT THE VERY LEAST ENTITLE THE 10-15% OF 2002-03 WRX OWNERS TO A FREE REPAIR. (OR EVEN PARTS WITHOUT LABOR) PLEASE ADVISE AS TO HOW WE CAN ADDRESS THIS VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM BEFORE WE END UP ADDRESSING IT BECAUSE OF NUMEROUS CASUALTIES. IF A VEHICLE COMBUSTS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, IT WILL NOT ONLY KILL THE DRIVER BUT THE 8 PEOPLE SURROUNDING THE EXPLODED VEHICLE WHO WERE RIDING ALONGSIDE IT ON THE HIGHWAY. PROBLEM STARTED AT 21K MI AND HAS CONTINUED. SEVER COLD (BELOW 14 DEGREES) IS TYPICALLY REQUIRED TO PRODUCE THE PROBLEM WITH 100% CONSISTENCY. TSB DATA: TSB#09-36-03, DATE OF INCEPTION:04-01-2003, PARTS REQUIRED:17544AA134, 807707140. *NM |
