This car, while a SAAB by name, is made by Subaru and is mechanically identical to a 2005 impreza wrx. Subaru recalled 2002- 2003 wrxs for a cold weather fuel leak. The recall number is 01-170-09. This car being two model years newer is not covered however it suffers from the exact same issue. During very cold temperatures like the ones we are experiencing now, (below 20 degrees f) raw fuel leaks from a hose in the engine compartment. This smell floods the cabin and is so bad, windows need to be rolled down. I have contacted Subaru for assistance but have yet to receive help.

Major fuel leak in cold temperatures on a 2005 SAAB 9-2x aero. The fuel line/hose under the intake manifold leaks significantly in cold temperatures. This is a known issue on the Subaru wrx of the same year(s). Subaru of America issued recall campaign wvk-21 on their vehicles, and the SAAB 9-2x aero is mechanically the exact same vehicle, however there is no recall for the SAAB.

Fuel lines on top of the engine leak during cold weather, below 10 degrees f. There is a strong fuel odor out side the vehicle and inside when the vents are on. The smell goes away after the car is completely warmed up, 10-20 minutes of driving. Car is at the dealer with parts on order to help fix the problem.

Fuel leak under intake manifold on 2005 SAAB 9-2x occurs whenever there is cold weather. Strong smell of raw fuel fills passenger compartment on startup and continues until engine is warmed up presenting health and safety concerns. SAAB 9-2x is identical vehicle to Subaru impreza sport wagon where this problem has been common and extensive since 2002. Subaru recall wvk-21 was issued with extended warranty to cover repairs under Subaru service bulletin 09-36-03. Replacement fuel lines and gasket required to repair problem (wvk-21 repair kit # 10130aa000). SAAB will not recognize this recurring problem as a warranty repair.
