IDLING AT STOP WITH FOOT FIRMLY ON BRAKE PEDAL. SUDDEN SURGE WITH AUDIBLE AND TACHOMETER INCREASE IN RPM. CAR JUMPED FORWARD SLIGHTLY. A FEW PRIOR MINOR RPM SURGES WITH FOOT ON BRAKE. THANKS TO THE RECENT NEWS RE TOYOTA. I KNEW TO SHOVE THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. *TR
WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 30 DEGREES, THERE IS A STRONG FUEL SMELL IN THE CAB WHEN THE HEATER IS RUNNING. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS IN MY 2002 SUBARU OUTBACK. I TRIED CORRECTING THE PROBLEM BY TIGHTENING THE BRACKETS IN THE FUEL LINE AND THIS HAS NOT HELPED. MY INTERNET RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR SUBARUS (DIFFERENT MODELS AND YEARS). I AM SURPRISED THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. IN SOME CASES, IT IS DUE TO LOOSE BRACKETS AND IN OTHERS LEAKY GASKETS IN THE FUEL INJECTOR. THIS IS CLEARLY A HEALTH ISSUE. I CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR WITH MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN WITH THE HEATER RUNNING (EVEN WITHOUT THE HEATER THERE IS A RESIDUAL FUEL SMELL). *TR
