Consumer Description

SUBARU FORESTER SMELLS OF GAS INSIDE CAB WHEN WEATHER IS COLD. GAS LEAK VISIBLE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED IN 2013. I TIGHTENED A CLAMP AND LEAK STOPPED. THIS WINTER I CANNOT SEE THE LEAK, BUT THE FUEL SMELL OVERTAKES MY CAR ABOUT 5 MINUTES INTO WARMING UP. EVENTUALLY IT DISSIPATES BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A LEAK SOMEWHERE IN THE VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE EPIDEMIC IN SUBARUS. *TR
