| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2002 subaru impreza wrx wagon fuel leak. ~81000 miles. leak description consistent with subaru internal bulletin 09-36-03 with the exception that quantity of fuel was significantly more than 1 drop. a pool of fuel was visible and dripped later onto garage floor. outside temperature was approximately 24f when the leak occurred. leak has continued to occur when temperature at similar range. subaru dealer is claiming this will not be covered by subaru (or subaru extended warranty which i am currently covered on) since it is only an advisor and not a recall. the fuel concentration was strong enough that a fire could have occurred. i am surprised there was no preventative recall of this problem after researching the number of other 2002 wrx owners affected already. *jb |
