| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have just purchased a 2002 subaru impreza wrx, upon driving home i was extremely light headed and very sleepy i also noticed the pungent smell of raw fuel, after driving home with the windows open in 30 degree weather i did some research which lead me to find there was a significant fuel leak in one of the fuel pipe / hose connections,(on the passenger side in the engine compartment) which has resulted in the fuel dripping on to the engine... this is extremely unsafe and i am fearful of driving the car. this is now a tsb w/ subaru, but for the safety of owners and other drivers this needs to be a recall placed in the highest regard!! i will be contacting subaru of america to seek assistance!! the parts and the repair labor are stated in the bulletin... however this is no simple fix.. pricing and technical know how are of an elevated degree.. *nm |
