Consumer Description

TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WHEN IT WAS FOUND TO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT GAS LEAK. SPECIFICALLY THE FUEL RAIL HAD SOMETHING LIKE 16 LEAKS. WHILE I NEVER HAD AN ENGINE FIRE THE POSSIBILITY FOR THAT HAPPENING WAS VERY REAL. THIS IS MY FAMILY CAR, WHICH I TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN IN. FROM READING OTHER EXPERIENCES ABOUT THIS I HAVE FOUND IT TO BE A FLAW IN DESIGN WITH THE 2003 SUBARU WRX. I WOULD HOPE THAT SUBARU WOULD VALUE ITS CUSTOMERS SAFETY AND MAKE A SAFETY RECALL ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *TR
