| Regarding the gas gauge: gauge does not read accurately. shows as below empty when there is still over 3 gallons of fuel left. goes up and down for no reason. i personally know 3 other 93 impreza owners who have the same problem. re: the power locks/childproof switch. i cannot open the back right door from the inside because i cannot disengage the childproof switch. no matter what position the switch is in the door still does not open from the inside. this also happened to my 1987 subaru gl which i no longer have.*ak | |||
