| Description of the problem | The fuel tank door jams and refuses to open. This has been happening for about 5 months. I had to ask a gas station attendant to open it and he had to use a screwdriver. Took car to dealer on may 3rd. Did not fix it. I read online this has happened to many others. I called subaru customer service number and she said that she never heard of this happening.. I believe they should have a recall . |
