The contact owns a 2003 Subaru Baja. When the vehicle was stationary or when driving various speeds, the contact noticed a strong odor of fuel coming through the vents. There was no warning indicator illuminated. The odor was only noticed during cold weather. The contact called mike shaw Subaru at (303) 438-7500 (located at 1650 w 104th ave, denver, co 80234) and was informed that the VIN was not included in a recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 107,000.
Every time I drive my 2003 Baja in cold weather it smells like raw fuel. It makes me feel light headed and dizzy. The sell comes in thru the vents and fills the cab with fumes. The fuel leaks out onto the top of the engine block from the fuel line creating a possible fire hazard. We've seen similar issues of fuel leaking from fuel lines under the intake manifold during cold conditions on numerous other Subaru models including the outback and forester. Subaru recall no. Wvk-21 for 2002-2003 Subaru WRX models resolves a fuel leak from the fuel line under the intake manifold during cold weather condition. Why wasn't all Subaru models included in this recall? it seems a lot of Subaru owners are having this problem. Https://www.facebook.com/makesubaruofamericafixtheirfuelleaks/ please fix this soon.
