| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My subaru wrx 2002 started giving off a strong fuel odor when temperature was really low. this continued for over 10 days. on investigation using the internet, this turned out to be a well-documented defect, reported by large numbers of other 2002 wrx owners as well. subaru refused to pay for the fix. i had to pay morristown subaru in nj $230 to fix this very dangerous problem and make my vehicle usable again. i am very surprised that subaru is not proactively issuing a recall and fixing the problem. are they waiting for a 2002 wrx to explode due to the fuel leak, possibly causing grievous injury to the occupants? *nm |
