I own a 2005 Subaru Impreza wrx sti, upon starting vehicle, idle, and driving there's strong fuel smell under the hood and inside the cabin. I have popped the hood and confirmed is coming from back passenger side of intake manifold where the fuel lines, rails, and injectors are. I have confirmed this to be relating to soa's recall for the 02-03 Impreza wrx's hard fuel line / rubber hose leaking issues. I live in southern California so appears extreme cold weather not the cause. Leaking fuel is a huge safety issue!.
The contact owns a 2005 Subaru Impreza. The contact stated that fuel fumes were emitted inside the vehicle. The dealer stated that the fuel lines and the intake manifold gaskets needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 139,476.
When car is in motion and the heater is on the smell of burnt oil which becomes worse when the car comes to a full stop, valve cover gaskets leak on to the exhaust manifold due to poor engineering many parts need to be removed to gain access which in result causes a very expensive bill.
