Other Fuel System Tank Assembly Problems of Subaru Impreza

The car will stop running abruptly after running for several hours and getting low on fuel. No check engine lights or other lights come on. No gas light comes on. I have taken it to 2 dealerships who cannot replicate the problem. The electrical components all stay on, but the motor will not run. The vehicle will start again when fuel is added to the tank, or when it is allowed to cool. I am 100% sure that the fuel pimp is overheating, but neither the dealer nor Subaru will replace it, though it is under warranty. It happens at highway speeds when the tank is below 1/4 after driving for around 2-3 hours or more.

When trying to put fuel in my car at the pump, the fuel instantly starting spewing out even though I know I have an empty tank. Based on research, Subaru has a valve in the tank that is defective and causes this. There is no way I can fill my tank up and I am covered in fuel.

The gas tank is slowly leaking near the seam due to corrosion from salt and moisture being caught up in there from the same plastic gas tank cover with holes in it that caused the brake line corrosion recall. Leaks when it is over half full.

Tl the contact owns a 2009 Subaru Impreza. After fueling the vehicle, the contact noticed a very strong odor of fuel. The contact drove approximately three miles to his home and the odor became stronger. The contact noticed fuel leaking underneath the vehicle where the fuel tank was located. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.

I am unable to add any more fuel to my care even though my fuel tank is almost empty. I know it is almost empty because it has been about 350 miles since my last fill. When I try to add fuel, the nozzle stops pumping and gas spurts out all over the car.

Beginning last winter, a strange and dangerous problem started with my Subaru. Whenever the outside temperature is cold (below freezing) and the gas tank is three quarters full or more, the gas tank leaks. If the car is parked for a few hours or more, the gas appears as a puddle on the ground (about 8 inches in diameter) and the fumes fill the interior of the car. If the car is parked in our attached garage, the fumes make their way into our home overnight. The odor is strong! this, in my opinion, is extremely dangerous. My laundry room is next to the garage and obviously, if I small gas, I don't use my clothes dryer. I have taken the car to my local Subaru dealer and they claim they cannot find any leak in the tank or fill portion. The only thing I can do -- is never fill the car more than half way and hope nothing bad happens, like a fire or explosion. I understand from the internet, this is a known problem with certain Subaru makes/models. Why is it not being addressed? please help.

Driving home on 12/11/16, the check engine, vehicle dynamics control, and cruise control indicators came on simultaneously. Check engine and vdc indicators were steady, but cruise control was blinking. The next morning when I started the car, the problem was still there so I immediately went to Subaru to have it checked out. They discovered code p1449: "evap system clugged check & found spider webs is evap drain & valve assy. Tech recommend replace evap drain & valve assy. " they replaced evap drain & valve assembly and performed evap system clean reinstall which fixed the issue. Total cost 617. 28 (416. 50 for 3. 5 hours labor, 41. 16 for valve ay dra, 159. 62 for valve ay elc). When I first got the car in Dec 2011, I purchased an extended warranty (gold plus) which covers 6 years or 60,000 miles with $0 deductible. Before fixing the problem above, they estimated it would cost me $600-$700 out of pocket since they said this problem was not covered under warranty because it was caused by a spider and not a part defect. I called Subaru's warranty department which said the same thing. I mentioned that Mazda, Suzuki, Honda, and Hyundai all had this problem a few years back and that Mazda and Suzuki had recalls, while Honda and Hyundai were covered under warranty. Subaru again stated that they do not cover it. After the fix, a service center advisor said he sees this problem a lot but unfortunately Subaru does not cover it. I asked how to prevent it from happening again and he said to spray peppermint oil occasionally around the fuel tank area below the car since the smell deters pests. I paid the bill to get my car. However, I believe a recall of some sort should be issued by Subaru to fix the problem and prevent it from happening again or at least have the problem be covered under warranty. I am filing a complaint to you and hope you can help me recover the cost.

Car is 6 years old, ~50,000 miles on it, and the fuel tank is rusted out. Leaking enough that it cannot be fixed and must be replaced. My mechanic says this is highly irregular. Dealer says they haven't had to replace a fuel tank in decades.

My car is leaking fuel. I smell the poisonous fuel inside my vehicle every time I am inside it. I am losing 50 miles per full tank. Can this leak cause my car to blow-up and kill me or others? I am scared. My name is ken sutiak from clifton new jersey. My extended warranty expired in November. Isn't safety more important than a 3 month expired warranty? I work for NJ transit, I know the dot would be concerned!.

3 times this month had to take my Subaru to dealer because my car was not accepting gas in the tank. It would squirt every gallon back at me each incident that this occurred. I had to suffer severe eye burns twice due too the gasoline hitting me directly in the face. Thank god a fire did not start. Now I have to take to the dealer again because problem still not solved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

When attempting to fuel the vehicle (the tank was less than one-quarter full), the gas splashed back out of the vehicle on me and allover the ground. I tried several times to fuel, but the tank will not accept gas. This issue can cause injuries from the gasoline splash, and it can cause stranded drivers because the vehicle cannot be refueled. It must be investigated. There are plenty of forums online where people complain of the same issue in their 2009 Imprezas. . . There must be a known defective part, but Subaru is not recalling it? please investigate.

Gas tank will not allow any gas to be pumped. Attempted to pump and gas sprayed back out. Car is throwing a check engine light of p0453 "evap system pressure sensor high input. " car is nearly on e for gas. Taking to dealership to resolve problem. Safety issue as gas could spray on person, causing injury.

Vehicle will not take fuel. Fuel nozzle shuts off as if tank is full or fuel spills out of the tank. Tried three different pumps at the first gas station, then drove to two other gas stations and was only able to fill with approximately 1 gallon of fuel. From online inquiries, may be possible fuel tank pressure valve failure?.

The first incident was in 2010. The check engine light came on (steady, not blinking) and after that I attempted to put gas in the car. The tank was down to approx. 1/4 but the car would not take gas, and when I attempted to add gas it back splashed all over me. The dealer said it was a problem with spider webs in the line causing a pressure problem in the tank, and replaced the pressure valve. Since then this has happened 4 additional times - I am now on my 3rd pressure valve. This is a safety issue on several fronts: unexpected backsplash of gas, possibility of running out of gas and not being able to add it (I. E. Being totally stuck far from home) and pressure in the tank (seems this could result in fire or other danger). The dealer does not have a fix for this - a recall is necessary to force Subaru to acknowlege this issue and coming up with a fix to prevent spider entry (Mazda and Honda have addressed this same issue - Mazda recalled 50k + cars).
