| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I drive a 2002 subaru impreza wrx manufactured in feb 2001. i have owned the vehicle for 3 months. i noticed the failure during the first day the temperature dropped below freezing. the failure is described as a very strong scent of noxious fuel into the passenger cabin of the vehicle. the scent is present when the vehicle is started with a cold engine and the outside temperature is below freezing. the scent dissipates after 5 minutes of running the engine. this occurs every time these conditions are present which can be multiple times daily. the consequences to date have simply been discomfort but i am concerned that long term exposure may have lasting damage to my and my passengers lungs and eyes. so far i have not taken any corrective action as the discussion forum at www.nasioc.com has many postings describing failed attempts of fixing the problem by subaru trained mechanics. *nm |
