Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Our 2002 subaru legacy wagon has an obnoxious smell of gas in the interior after starting in cold weather. we have a small 1-year old who is risking brain damage from these fumes and i have researched the issues with the problem that subaru is not acknowledging as a recall but a hidden service bulletin. the possibility of an engine fire and the inhalation of gas fumes poses threats far beyond what typically should call for a service recall. the dealership is going to be looking at the issue today and i imagine charging us $500-$750 to fix, and we have been exposed to this issue for awhile. how can a manufacturer make a defective part the leaves such a risk without a recall? at least i understand while i am light-headed this morning. ridiculous!! *jb |
