The vehicle is leaking fuel. When tank is full the presence of the fumes are overwhelming. Other 2005 baja's have been repaired under a recall, but mine has not been fixed. I can't park in a garage due to life threatening reasons and it could ignite right now. Please help me.

Fuel leaks around clamped rubber hoses in and around intake manifold especially during cold weather. The fumes from these leaks are extremely noticeable at slow speeds or stopped and enter the drivers compartment through the vents. I have great concern for the possibility of fire.

Every time I drive my 2003 baja in cold weather it smells like raw fuel. It makes me feel light headed and dizzy. The sell comes in thru the vents and fills the cab with fumes. The fuel leaks out onto the top of the engine block from the fuel line creating a possible fire hazard. We've seen similar issues of fuel leaking from fuel lines under the intake manifold during cold conditions on numerous other subaru models including the outback and forester. Subaru recall no. Wvk-21 for 2002-2003 subaru wrx models resolves a fuel leak from the fuel line under the intake manifold during cold weather condition. Why wasn't all subaru models included in this recall? It seems a lot of subaru owners are having this problem. Https://www.facebook.com/makesubaruofamericafixtheirfuelleaks/ please fix this soon.

Strong fuel smell in cabin when started in very cold weather and persisting even once car has warmed up. So severe as to cause nausea and fogging of interior windows. Had to drive in very cold weather with windows down to vent fumes. Diagnosed by dealer as leaking fuel lines around intake manifold (exactly like recall for 05 and 06 model years). $1200 repair estimate.

When temperatures drop below 40 degrees my 2004 subaru baja turbo begins to leak fuel. It is leaking from the fuel line under the manifold. The odor is very strong in the cabin and in the garage when parked. The windows will fog up from the fumes being sucked when the heat is on. This problem has been occurring every winter all winter for the 4 years that I have had the car. The car only has 50,000 miles on it.

This winter when the temperatures dropped below freezing I had a strong smell of gas in my car. Most noticeable when warming the vehicle up in the morning. I noticed the smell on both the outside and inside of the car. On the outside it seemed to be coming from the drivers side behind the rear door I investigated but could not find any fuel leaks or the source of the smell.

I have a 2004 subaru baja and fuel is leaking from the fuel lines under the intake manifold. Vapors will fill cabin of the vehicle. There is a risk of fire and intoxicating fumes. These vehicles have a history of this problem. Subaru has not and will not make a commitment on a recall. 2005 and 2006 bajas have had a recall for the same problem, but I cannot get it fixed because mine is a 2004.

I have fuel leaking from the fuel lines on the drivers side to the right of the alternator. I am assuming one or both of these fuel lines are cracked. The fuel leaks when it is cold and stops leaking when the engine warms up. My baja is also hard to start when cold. I'm thinking the fuel lines are sucking in air where cracked.
