| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2002 subaru impreza wrx sedan which has an apparent fuel leak in cold weather. subaru has a technical service bullitain out on this problem to fix it (they do know about it), but it has yet to be made a recall. i first experienced this problem the other night when it was very cold outside, and there was a very strong fuel odor in the cabin. i asked some of my friends who also drive wrx's if they have had experience with this, and they said that they have been having the problem recently as well. after doing some research, the tsb was discovered and the source became clear. fuel was leaking onto the engine, which poses not only a foul odor, but also an extremely dangerous fire hazzard. please get subaru to make this a recall so that they can prevent anything bad from happening to one of their customers. i doubt they would want their "subaru" name to become known as the "cars that catch on fire". make this problem a recall as soon as possible so no lives are lost. ak |
