Consumer Description

STRONG FUEL SMELL IN PASSENGER CABIN, TEMPERATUER WAS ABOUT 10 F. THIS SEEMS TO BE KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT I WISH TO ADD TO THE LIST. DEALER TOOK 2 WEEKS TO ORDER PARTS, AND IT WILL COST ME $475 DOLLARS TO FIX A SAFTEY/HEALTH ISSUE THAT SUBARU KNOWS ABOUT. THE FIRST DAY I DEVELOPED A LOT OF EXCESS MUCUS & HEADACHE BEFORE I FIGURED OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. I GUESS BREATHING 93 OCTANE DURING A COMMUTE WILL DO THAT TO A PERSON. SUBARU SHOULD BE PRESSURES TO MAKE THIS A RECALL. I PUT THE A/C ON RECIRCULATE UNTIL THE ISSUED WAS FIXED, BUT WHEN I WOULD GET OUT TO SCRAPE ICE OFF OF THE WINDOWS I COULD SMELL LOTS OF FUEL OUTSIDE. NOT SAFE.*AK
