2004 Subaru IMPREZA Fuel Propulsion System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	964198
Internal NHTSA #	10497891
Manufacurer	Subaru of America, Inc.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	IMPREZA
Model Year	2004
File date	07/01/13
Component	FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Upon cold starting the car there is a prominent raw fuel smell. It only seems to happen when temperatures outside are sub-freezing. The lower the temperature the worse the fuel smell becomes. After the car has warmed up the fuel smell goes away. It is very similar to the problem subaru had with it's 02-03 imprezas, which they issued a recall for the fuel lines, which were too short and in the cold would shrink further causing a leak until the car warmed up. I am submitting this complaint because subaru of america denies the issue exists and is charging around $400 at the dealership to swap out the fuel lines.
