Consumer Description

ON EXTREMELY COLD MORNINGS +/-0 DEGREES MY 2005 SUBARU IMPREZA RS HAS SUCH A STRONG FUEL SMELL THAT YOU CAN NOT USE THE HEAT SINCE YOU CAN'T TURN ON THE VENTS. IF YOU TURN THE VENTS ON THE SMELL IS SO INTENSE THAT YOU GET LIGHTHEADED AND SICK. YOU CAN SMELL THE FUEL SMELL OUTSIDE THE ENGINE AREA AND FUEL MILEAGE IS SO MUCH LOWER THAT YOU KNOW THAT IT IS LEAKING FUEL. CALLED SUBARU AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP WITHOUT CHARGING AND DID WARN OF THE POTENTIAL OF THE CAR CATCHING ON FIRE FROM THE FUEL LEAK. *TR
