Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problems of the 2005 Subaru Legacy

Second time car has been in for this issue. Issue is common, and many forums topics have been started documenting the commonality of this issue. I can provide links. Issue: leaking/raw gas smell outside of car, inside of car, and inside of engine bay in cold weather upon start up (engine warm or cold). Leaking/dripping gas can been seen in engine bay. First repair: tightened fuel line clamps. Issue fixed. Next winter came along, issue returned. This time dealership (north shore Subaru, highland park, IL) wants $700 to fix the issue. First repair cost $51. 33 at liberty auto city/Subaru in libertyville, IL. Called Subaru of America and reported repeat of issue. They have not offered to repair it and deny that the issue is common. I believe this is an environmental, health, and safety concern. No vehicle I've ever owned has leaked fuel and I'm baffled as to why Subaru doesn't consider this a serious liability risk.

The dealership diagnosed a fuel leak in my 2005 Subaru Legacy 2. 5 gt limited wagon (which I purchased new and has been immpeccably maintained), and it started occurring during cold weather. I looked online and this seems to be a very popular complaint amongst owners of the same vehicle/same year, especially in cold weather, and I can't understand why there hasn't been a recall issued. Fuel issues are dangerous!!! there were recalls issued for the 2002-2003 Subaru wrx (cold weather fuel line seep which by description is exactly what is happening with my vehicle), 2004 Subaru Legacy sedan, and the 2005-2006 Subaru baja, for fuel leaks and this may or may not be the same thing, but it seems this is a trend for the Subaru vehicles in 2002 - 2006.
