Consumer Description

THIS CAR, WHILE A SAAB BY NAME, IS MADE BY SUBARU AND IS MECHANICALLY IDENTICAL TO A 2005 IMPREZA WRX. SUBARU RECALLED 2002- 2003 WRXS FOR A COLD WEATHER FUEL LEAK. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 01-170-09. THIS CAR BEING TWO MODEL YEARS NEWER IS NOT COVERED HOWEVER IT SUFFERS FROM THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. DURING VERY COLD TEMPERATURES LIKE THE ONES WE ARE EXPERIENCING NOW, (BELOW 20 DEGREES F) RAW FUEL LEAKS FROM A HOSE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THIS SMELL FLOODS THE CABIN AND IS SO BAD, WINDOWS NEED TO BE ROLLED DOWN. I HAVE CONTACTED SUBARU FOR ASSISTANCE BUT HAVE YET TO RECEIVE HELP. *TR
