2004 Subaru OUTBACK Fuel Propulsion System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1131090
Internal NHTSA #	10654667
Manufacurer	Subaru of America, Inc.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	OUTBACK
Model Year	2004
File date	11/11/14
Component	FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Fuel leak when temperature dropped to sudden cold between 0 and 10f. So bad that you cannot drive the car as the heater draws in the fumes (and at 4f you need to use the heater). Unsafe to drive due to possible fire in engine. Car is now in the shop - apparently this is very common with subaru, which is why i am filing a complaint. If subaru knows of this, it's time for them to take action. Or will it take an engine fire and possible death for something to be done? I certainly hope not!
