Consumer Description

GAS LEAK THAT CAUSES VERY STRONG GAS FUMES IN THE CAR DURING COLD STARTS AND SIGNIFICANT GAS LOSS OVERNIGHT. LOCAL SUBARU DEALERSHIP DETERMINES IT'S FAULTY FUEL LINE GASKETS AND $900 TO REPAIR. THE FUMES ARE SO STRONG THAT I FEAR SOMETHING WILL IGNITE THE VAPORS AND START A FIRE. *TR
