I DRIVE A 2002 SUBARU IMPREZA WRX. A WEEK AND A HALF AGO WE HAD TEMPS BELOW ZERO. WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED VERY STRONG GAS SMELLS COMING THROUGH THE VENTS WHILE USING THE DEFROST. AFTER SOME ONLINE INVESTIGATION I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES FOR ANYONE LIVING IN A COLDER CLIMATE. I BELIVE THE PROBLEM HAS TO DO WITH THE FITTINGS THAT ATTATCH THE METAL FUEL LINES TO THE FLEXIBLE HOSES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. IN COLD WEATHER THESE FAIL, SPILLING GASOLINE ONTO THE ENGINE BLOCK. NOW THE PROBLEM IS MORE COMMON, EVEN ON COOL, BUT NOT COLD DAYS. I UNDERSTAND THAT SUBARU IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS EVEN ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN TO DEALERSHIPS ADVISING THEM OF THE FIX FOR THIS (WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE). HOWEVER, IT SHOULD NOT BE THE CONSUMERS RESPONSIBLITY TO PAY FOR A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS FIX THAT IS COMMON ON THESE CARS. STRONG GAS FUMES IN THE PASSANGER COMPARTMENT AND GASOLINE SPILLING ONTO THE ENGINE BLOCK SHOULD CONSTITUTE ENOUGH OF A SAFETY HAZARD TO JUSTIFY A RECALL OF THESE VEHICLES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER. *AK

CONSUMER IS EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL LINE. THE FUEL LINE TENDS TO LEAKS ON COLD DAYS. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL LINE SHRINKS AT CERTAIN TEMPERATURES. THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. *JB

THERE IS A KNOWN INTERNAL TSB BEING CIRCULATED BY SUBARU OF AMERICA ABOUT THIS VERY PROBLEM. PRICING HAS RANGED FROM $650.00 AND UP. THIS IS A HAZARD AND A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. I SHOULD NOT BE MADE TO PAY FOR A PROBLEM THAT IS RECURRING AMONGST HUNDREDS OF WRX OWNERS. FUEL LEAKS FROM A LINE ONTO THE ENGINE. TWO DANGERS EXIST, 1)POSSIBLE IGNITION OF THE RAW GASOLINE DUE TO PROXIMITY TO ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. 2)POSSIBLE EXPLOSION IN VEHICLE CABIN DUE TO ACCUMULATION OF DENSE GASOLINE VAPORS. IN ANY CASE IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR A SMOKER TO SUSTAIN THEIR HABIT WHILST INSIDE THIS VEHICLE. THE CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPOR ARE 10X THAT OF A GAS STATION. CLEARLY THIS SHOULD AT THE VERY LEAST ENTITLE THE 10-15% OF 2002-03 WRX OWNERS TO A FREE REPAIR. (OR EVEN PARTS WITHOUT LABOR) PLEASE ADVISE AS TO HOW WE CAN ADDRESS THIS VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM BEFORE WE END UP ADDRESSING IT BECAUSE OF NUMEROUS CASUALTIES. IF A VEHICLE COMBUSTS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, IT WILL NOT ONLY KILL THE DRIVER BUT THE 8 PEOPLE SURROUNDING THE EXPLODED VEHICLE WHO WERE RIDING ALONGSIDE IT ON THE HIGHWAY. PROBLEM STARTED AT 21K MI AND HAS CONTINUED. SEVER COLD (BELOW 14 DEGREES) IS TYPICALLY REQUIRED TO PRODUCE THE PROBLEM WITH 100% CONSISTENCY. TSB DATA: TSB#09-36-03, DATE OF INCEPTION:04-01-2003, PARTS REQUIRED:17544AA134, 807707140. *NM

AFTER COLD WEATHER THERE WAS VERY STRONG GASOLINE FUMES IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THIS CONTINUED EVEN WHEN THE TEMPERATURES ROSE TO 30 DEGF. FUMES WERE SO STRONG THAT PASSENGERS BECAME DIZZY AND LIGHT HEADED AND WINDOWS HAD TO BE OPENED FOR FRESH AIR. *JB

2002 SUBARU IMPREZA WRX, FUEL LEAK DUE TO IMPROPERLY DESIGNED FUEL LINES WHERE A SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED HOWEVER SUBARU OF AMERICA REFUSES TO WARRANTY THE PROBLEM AND SAYS ITS NOT A RECALL. I HAVE PUDDLES OF FUEL UNDERNEATH MY INTAKE MANIFOLD AND FUEL VAPOR SURROUNDS THE ENTIRE ENGINE BAY OF THE VEHICLE WHICH COULD RESULT IN FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION TO THE VEHICLE.

THERE IS A FUEL LEAK THAT I CAN SEE UNDERNEATH THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS WELL BELOW 15 DEGREES (F). THIS IS AN ISSUE EXPERIENCED BY NEARLY ALL 2002 SUBARU IMPREZA WRX OWNERS WHO LIVE IN COLD WEATHER. IT IS ADDRESSED IN TSB 09-36-03. THE PROBLEM WITH THE TSB IS THAT IT DOES NOT FIX ANOTHER SMALLER LEAK. I AM NOT SURE WHERE THAT SECOND ONE IS, BUT I CAN DEFINITELY SMELL THE FUEL AFTER GETTING THE CAR FIXED. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW LEAKING FUEL IS NOT DANGEROUS, BUT I HOPE THIS ISSUE WILL BE RESOLVED. SUBARU OF AMERICA SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX THIS ISSUE AT THEIR EXPENSE, INSTEAD OF THE WRX OWNERS GETTING IT FIXED FOR SOMETIMES UPWARDS OF $500. I GUESS THAT WON'T HAPPEN UNTIL SOME ONE DIES IN A FIRE.*AK

THE PROBLEM IS WITH A FUEL LEAK IN THE FUEL LINES OF THE SUBARU IMPREZA 02. DURING THE COLDER WEATHER THE TUBES SHRINK A BIT, CAUSING FUEL TO LEAK AND GET ONTO THE ENGINE, SOMETIME CATCHING FIRE. IT BRINGS A RATHER FOUL SMELL INTO THE CABIN OF THE CAR, AS WELL AS SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASES GAS MILEAGE.*AK

THE DESIGN OF THE FUEL LINE (METAL RAIL/RUBBER HOSE INTERFACE) IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO FUEL ODOR AND/OR SEEPAGE IN EXTREME COLD TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS.OWNERS MOST OFTEN NOTICED FUEL ODOR IN THE OCCUPANT COMPARTMENT AREA DURING INITIAL COLD ENGINE START-UP.ONCE THE ENGINE IS WARMED, THE ODOR/SEEPAGE ISSUE DISSIPATES.FROM SUBARU'S DATA, ODI NOTES THAT THE INCIDENT RATES ARE HIGHER IN STATES WITH COLDER TEMPERATURES.THERE WAS ONE ALLEGATION OF A FIRE INCIDENT IN WHICH THE OWNER HAD REPORTED THAT HE NOTICED FUEL ODOR A FEW DAYS EARLIER, BUT ODI COULD NOT CONFIRM THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE. TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, SUBARU WILL REPLACE THE FUEL LINE WITH A LONGER RUBBER HOSE SEGMENT VERSION/DESIGN ON 5,724 MY 2002-2003 VEHICLES BUILT THROUGH SEPTEMBER 12, 2002 IN 16 STATES (AK, CO, IA, ID, ME, MI, MN, MT, ND, NE, NH, NY, SD, VT, WI & WY).IN ADDITION, SUBARU WILL EXTEND THE WARRANTY COVERAGE TO 12 YEARS/UNLIMITED MILEAGE ON VEHICLES IN THE REMAINING 34 STATES.THIS ENGINEERING ANALYSIS IS CLOSED (SEE RECALL CAMPAIGN 09V-468)

SUBARU REPORTS THAT THE FUEL ODOR IS CAUSED BY FUEL SEEPAGE DURING COLD START OF THE ENGINE UNDER EXTREMELY COLD TEMPERATURES. THE LEAK OCCURS IN A FUEL LINE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.IT REPORTS THAT THE FAILURE IS DUE TO THE MISALIGNED ANGLE BETWEEN TWO FUEL DELIVERY LINES WHICH RESULTED IN SUCH FUEL SEEPAGE DURING THE FIRST FEW SECONDS OF COLD ENGINE START DURING THESE COLD TEMPERATURES.SUBARU REPORTS THAT THE TWO FUEL LINES ARE CONNECTED WITH A HOSE THAT BECOMES TOO STIFF IN VERY COLD TEMPERATURES TO CONFORM TO THE MISALIGNMENT. SUBARU HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (SUBARU SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER 09-36-03) TO REPLACE THE FUEL LINES WITH NEW LINES THAT ARE PROPERLY ALIGNED AND THAT HAVE A LONGER CONNECTING HOSE.ODI PHONE CALLS TO MANY OF THE COMPLAINANTS CONFIRM THAT FUEL ODOR IS NOTICABLE DURING VERY COLD TEMPERATURES AND COLD START BUT GOES AWAY AS THE ENGINE WARMS UP, AND THE ODOR IS NOT PRESENT IN WARMER TEMPERATURES. A FEW OWNERS REPORT THAT ATTEMPTS TO ELIMINATE THE LEAKAGE BY TIGHTENING THE CONNECTING HOSE CLAMPS IS NOT EFFECTIVE IN ELIMINATING THE FUEL ODOR.A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT HAS NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED AT THIS TIME AND FURTHER USE OF AGENCY RESOURCES DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE WARRANTED.ACCORDINGLY, THIS INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED.THE CLOSING OF THIS INVESTIGATION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A FINDING BY NHTSA THAT A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT DOES NOT EXIST.THE AGENCY WILL MONITOR THIS ISSUE AND RESERVES THE RIGHT TO TAKE FURTHER ACTION IF WARRANTED BY THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

Fuel System, Gasoline
SUBARU REPORTS THAT THE FUEL ODOR IS CAUSED BY FUEL SEEPAGE DURING COLD START OF THE ENGINE UNDER EXTREMELY COLD TEMPERATURES. THE LEAK OCCURS IN A FUEL LINE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.IT REPORTS THAT THE FAILURE IS DUE TO THE MISALIGNED ANGLE BETWEEN TWO FUEL DELIVERY LINES WHICH RESULTED IN SUCH FUEL SEEPAGE DURING THE FIRST FEW SECONDS OF COLD ENGINE START DURING THESE COLD TEMPERATURES.SUBARU REPORTS THAT THE TWO FUEL LINES ARE CONNECTED WITH A HOSE THAT BECOMES TOO STIFF IN VERY COLD TEMPERATURES TO CONFORM TO THE MISALIGNMENT. SUBARU HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (SUBARU SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER 09-36-03) TO REPLACE THE FUEL LINES WITH NEW LINES THAT ARE PROPERLY ALIGNED AND THAT HAVE A LONGER CONNECTING HOSE.ODI PHONE CALLS TO MANY OF THE COMPLAINANTS CONFIRM THAT FUEL ODOR IS NOTICABLE DURING VERY COLD TEMPERATURES AND COLD START BUT GOES AWAY AS THE ENGINE WARMS UP, AND THE ODOR IS NOT PRESENT IN WARMER TEMPERATURES. A FEW OWNERS REPORT THAT ATTEMPTS TO ELIMINATE THE LEAKAGE BY TIGHTENING THE CONNECTING HOSE CLAMPS IS NOT EFFECTIVE IN ELIMINATING THE FUEL ODOR.A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT HAS NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED AT THIS TIME AND FURTHER USE OF AGENCY RESOURCES DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE WARRANTED.ACCORDINGLY, THIS INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED.THE CLOSING OF THIS INVESTIGATION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A FINDING BY NHTSA THAT A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT DOES NOT EXIST.THE AGENCY WILL MONITOR THIS ISSUE AND RESERVES THE RIGHT TO TAKE FURTHER ACTION IF WARRANTED BY THE CIRCUMSTANCES.
