Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE HAS STARTED TO LEAK FUEL AFTER COLD STARTS IN COLDER WEATHER (BELOW 50 DEGREES F). THE ODOR INSIDE THE CABIN IS ENOUGH TO GIVE ME A HEADACHE. ONCE THE CAR WARMS UP IT DOES DISSIPATE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED IT AS FUEL LINES LEAKING UNDER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. WITH PARTS AND LABOR THE BILL IS ALMOST $1000. AFTER DOING SOME "RESEARCH" ONLINE IT APPEARS THAT THIS A MORE WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH SUBARU'S, IT EVEN RESULTED IN A RECALL OF SOME WRXS IN SOME STATES... I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT SUBARU IS NOT ISSUING A TSB OR RECALL ON OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLES. *TR
