FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
2002 SUBARU IMPREZA WRX LEAKS "RAW GAS" COMING FROM THE ENGINE BAY. THE FUMES ARE SO STRONG THAT THEY'LL TRAVEL THROUGH THE FIRE-WALL EVEN WITH THE WINDOWS CLOSED. THE GAS LEAKS VERY CLOSE TO THE TURBO SET UP WHERE TEMPERATURES ARE EXTREMELY HIGH. HEADACHES OCCUR WHILE SMELLING THESE FUMES. GAS MILEAGE IS SEVERELY AFFECTED AND THE RISK OF FIRE IS A MAJOR CONCERN. SUBARU OF AMERICA WON'T RECOGNIZE THIS AS A RECALL AND WILL CHARGE CUSTOMERS FOR REGULAR REPAIRS AT DEALERSHIPS, SOMETIMES IN EXCESS OF $600.00 WHEN THIS SHOULD BE TREATED AS A RECALL SERVICE. I AM A DISABLED/HANDICAPPED PERSON AND THIS SUBARU IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR DUE TO THIS PROBLEM AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR...IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. I WON'T SACRIFICE MY TWO CHILDREN AND PUT THEM AT DANGER INSIDE THIS CAR WHEN IT'S LEAKING GASOLINE AND POTENTIALLY CREATE A DEADLY ACCIDENT/FIRE. I CAN'T EVEN PARK THE CAR INSIDE THE GARAGE BECAUSE I'M CONCERNED THAT THE FUMES COULD REACH THE HOUSE WATER FURNACE AND TRIGGER A FIRE WHEN IT ENCOUNTERS THE PILOT LIGHT. YOU CAN VERIFY THIS PROBLEM/COMPLAINT AT THE FORUMS OF NASIOC...HUNDREDS/THOUSANDS ARE AFFECTED. *NM
