Consumer Description

SINCE THE COLD WEATHER STARTED NOV. 12, 2014 I HAVE SMELLED A RAW GAS SMELL IN MY 2001 SUBARU OUTBACK WHEN I START IT. IN TIME IT FADES AWAY, LIKE PERHAPS IT EVAPORATES ONCE THE ENGINE WARMS UP. I CAN ONLY GUESS AND SOME MORNINGS WHEN COLD THE SMELL IS OVERWHELMING, A RAW GAS ORDER ~ NOT A FAINT SMELL OF GAS. VERY CONCERNED BREATHING THESE FUMES WHICH CAN'T BE HEALTHY OR SAFE. THERE ARE PLENTY OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND IF ANYONE ENTERS...SUBARU OUTBACK COLD WEATHER GAS SMELL.. ON YOUR BROWSER YOU WILL LATTERLY SEE HUNDREDS IF NOT MORE PEOPLE LOOKING FOR HELP. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM. *TR
