2005 Subaru LEGACY Fuel Propulsion System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1152504
Internal NHTSA #	10679222
Manufacurer	Subaru of America, Inc.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	LEGACY
Model Year	2005
File date	01/01/14
Component	FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Plastic fuel pump basket/assembly flange that mounts on top of fuel tank structurally deteriorates resulting in multiple cracks that allow fuel to leak out of tank below the rear passenger seat. We own two different 2005 subaru legacy models (one sedan, one station wagon) and upon inspection discovered that the fuel pump basket flange on both cars showed exactly the same structural defect. The fuel basket assembly is only available directly from subaru of america and the repair involves substantial labor to change all parts over. This is clearly a structural or design issue and not a question of maintenance or random quality control.
