Description of the problem	I had my 2005 subaru outback sent to shop for tune-up. Now over the last year i have been having gas fumes entering the passenger cabin when ever you run the a/c or front window defogger with the recirculation air off. (meaning letting fresh air in). When ever i am at a stand still (ie-at traffic light or in traffic or when i am de-icing or de-fogging the front windshield when not in motion) the smell of gas comes through the vent and is making me sick and dizzy. I have attempted to have two different subaru dealers correct the issue but to no luck. They cannot figure it out and it seems that this is an on going and persistent problem with subaru vehicles. I am concerned for my health and safe operation of the vehicle. It seems that no one will attempt to really fix the problem. I have read on numerous forums that this is a common problem with subaru's, yet nothing is ever done to correct a possibly fatal accident or asphyxiation from happening. Please investigate.
