Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Strong fuel smell in passenger cabin, temperatuer was about 10 f. this seems to be known problem, but i wish to add to the list. dealer took 2 weeks to order parts, and it will cost me $475 dollars to fix a saftey/health issue that subaru knows about. the first day i developed a lot of excess mucus & headache before i figured out what was going on. i guess breathing 93 octane during a commute will do that to a person. subaru should be pressures to make this a recall. i put the a/c on recirculate until the issued was fixed, but when i would get out to scrape ice off of the windows i could smell lots of fuel outside. not safe.*ak
