NHTSA Complaint #10683962 — 2004 SUBARU IMPREZA

MY 2004 IMPREZA WRX STI LEAKS GASOLINE OUT OF A FUEL LINE UNDER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD EVERY TIME THE TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW ABOUT 30 F. THE RUBBER HOSE CONNECTING THE METAL FUEL LINES ISN'T LONG ENOUGH AND AT THAT TEMPERATURE THE SHRINKAGE IS ENOUGH TO MAKE IT VISIBLY DRIP GASOLINE WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING. THE HOSE LOCATION REQUIRES REMOVING THE INTAKE MANIFOLD TO GAIN ACCESS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE MANY, MANY SUBARU OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. SUBARU DID A RECALL FOR 2000-2002 VEHICLES, BUT THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS MANY OTHER YEARS OF IMPREZA WITH THE EXACT SAME FUEL RAIL SETUP. *TR
