| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On the days of jan 7, 8 and 9 2004 with temps below 25f degrees, a very strong odor of gasoline was present within and ouside of the cabin of the 2002 subaru impreza wrx. the smell could be overwhelming at times of colder temps (>15degrees) and would deminish after some driving. took auto into dealer on 8 jan. even though dealer service rep could smell the odor of gasoline when driving it back to the garage area, the technicians could not replicate the issue. was told by the service rep that this is not a safety issue. service rep was aware of tsb issued by subaru for a very similar item, but they needed to replicate the issue within the confines of the garage to be sure. four days later (and counting) i am waiting for colder temps to cause the gasoline odor for the techs.*ak |
