| 2002 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL | TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. I OWN A 2002 SUBARU WRX, AND WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD, I GET A VERY INTENSE GASOLINE SMELL IN THE CAB OF THE CAR. READING ON THE SUBARU FORUMS, IT SEEMS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF OTHER SUBARU WRX OWNERS, SOME OF WHICH HAVE GOTTEN IT FIXED UNDER THEIR WARRANTY, BUT MOST OF US HAVE NO MORE WARRANTY LEFT. I HAVE GONE TO MY LOCAL DEALER (OGDEN SUBARU) ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AND HE TREATED ME WITH SUCH DISRESPECT THAT IT OUTRAGES ME. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE LABOR TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WAS $450 DOLLARS, AND THE PARTS ARE $350 DOLLARS. THEN HE PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT I WAS USING THE WRONG OCTANE OF FUEL, AND I WAS "REVVING" THE ENGINE WHEN MY CAR IS COLD, WHICH IS ї!@#$% TO BEGIN WITH. I KNOW THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT FROM TOO SMALL OF FUEL HOSES ON THE FUEL RAIL, AND I KNOW THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FROM THE FUMES OF THE GAS IN THE CAB OF THE CAR, SO WHY THE ї!@#$% IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THESE PARTS? TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT IM GOING THROUGH, I HAVE TO DRIVE TO WORK EVERY DAY WITH MY REAR WINDOWS UNROLLED TO GET THE FUMES OUT (I LIVE IN NORTHERN UTAH, THERE IS 3 FEET OF SNOW ON THE GROUND), AND I CANNOT TURN MY HEATER ON BECAUSE IT VENTS MORE GAS SMELL INTO MY CAR. THEY SAY THAT GAS IS NOT AS FLAMMABLE AS THE VAPORS IT GIVES OFF, HOW LONG AM I GOING TO HAVE THIS HAZARD BEFORE THE PROBLEM IS FIXED? ON A MORE PERSONAL NOTE, TO HELL IF I AM GOING TO PAY FOR A REPAIR FOR A PART ON MY CAR THAT IS NOT MY FAULT AT ALL, YET ITS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I REALLY DON'T WANT TO GET A LAWYER INVOLVED WITH THIS SITUATION, BUT IF I HAVE TO, I WILL, AND IM SURE HE WILL BE AS OUTRAGED AS I AM. -ERIK P.S. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH MYSELF AND WITH MANY OTHER SUBARU WRX OWNERS, I THINK ITS TIME WE GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. *LA |
