1 Fuel Injection problem of the 2004 Subaru Forester

Failure Date: 11/20/2013

This 2004 Subaru Forester 2. 5 xt awd 4-spd automatic transmission with multi-purpose fuel injection turbo (feedback fuel system) has been producing a strong fuel smell that fills the entire vehicle cabin. I've been told by the dealer that this is to be expected from this type of engine and that there is nothing much that they can do about it and to learn to live with it. The dealer also indicates that this problem is basically caused by extreme cold weather and/or temperature change. I have researched this issue and found that there was a similar problem with the Subaru impreza and that Subaru issued a recall. No vehicle, Subaru or otherwise, should produce a problem like this one that is "unfixable. " the consumer should be protected from this potentially hazardous situation. This consumer is putting Subaru on notice.
