| On jan 12 2011 my 2005 subaru impreza wrx started to have a raw fuel smell coming into the cabin area when it was cold outside no matter if it was in a garage or outside. on further inspection i could see raw fuel streaming out of the fuel lines onto a hot engine block. there is a recall for 02-03 subaru imprezas with the same problem, but it does not cover any newer models with the same fuel delivery system problems. nothing was done to correct it by the dealer because it was not covered by the recall. it should have been covered by some type recall because of found defects in just slightly older models but the same engine configuration and fuel system. | |||

| I have raw fuel smell upon start up during cold weather. fuel drips from the fuel line under the intake manifold on the drivers side of the car and/or drips from the fuel rail. this is a continuing problem for subaru impreza's for years beyond the recall that was entered for the 02-03 models. research on several subaru forums reflect it is still a very significant problem on 04-05 year wrx imprezas. there have been several fires and accidents caused by the raw fuel dripping on the hot motor block. at this time there is no action being taken by subaru for the later years. | |||

| Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle's cruise control turned itself off without warning. the service dealer determined the electronic control module was not coded correctly and could not be fixed. updated 1/19/2007 - the consumer explained that this problem occurred when the tank was half full. when the tank was completely full the problem never happened. *nm | |||
