Consumer Description

WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS APPROXIMATELY 35 DEGREES F OR LESS, THERE IS A STRONG RAW FUEL SMELL IN THE VEHICLE FROM COLD STARTUP. THE PROBLEM DISSIPATES AFTER THE VEHICLE COMES UP TO OPERATING TEMPERATURE. MECHANIC DIAGNOSED IT AS A LEAKING FUEL LINE UNDER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE COST OF THIS REPAIR IS APPROXIMATELY $700. THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO BE COMMON IN BOTH THE SAAB 9-2X AND ITS SUBARU EQUIVALENT, THE IMPREZA WRX. BOTH MODELS WERE BUILT BY SUBARU. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2002 AND 2003 SUBARU WRX, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN ISSUED REGARDING THIS VEHICLE. *TR
