2004 Subaru WRX Fuel System, Gasoline Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1010740
Internal NHTSA #	10543452
Manufacurer	Subaru of America, Inc.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	WRX
Model Year	2004
File date	06/10/11
Component	FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Started vehicle after sitting overnight in sub-30 degree weather and a very strong smell of raw fuel was evident in vehicle. This happened on many more occasions; in any situation where the vehicle was given time to sit in cold weather. After the clamps were tightened on the lines, the smell was decreased; but after fear of a fire the lines and clamps were then replaced by myself. As subaru of america would not extend the recall to my 2004 vehicles and i could not afford to pay retail for the repair. This was very disappointing, as this is my first subaru and it was evident that the design was faulty. After replacing the lines and clamps, it seems as though the problem has been resolved. However, i cannot rule out the possibility of required repair in the future.
