| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Gasoline fuel smell in cabin of car, when driving and warming it up in the morning. had just had car serviced by dealership for 60,000 mile check up. was afraid to drive car since i could see gasoline pooled on engine block and was smoking as it evaporated. took to dealership where i purchased vehicle to have it serviced. was informed of a service bulletin subaru published 4/1/03 - bulletin no. 09-36-03 concerning the problem and repair. asked dealership if problem was covered under extended warranty. they said no. since this problem was identified by the manufacturer of the vehicle before my purchase of the car and is in fact a safety issue, i am confused as to why this repair is not covered by the dealership/manufacturer of the vehicle. paid for repair cost of $ 818. dealership unwilling to try to help resolve my issue with the repair. contacted auto manufacturer directly and am waiting for response. *jb |
