IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME NOW. IT IS VERY STRONG AND THERE SEEMS TO BE A FUEL LEAK IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I'M CONCERNED THAT IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE (PARTICULARLY IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN ACCIDENT OR EXHAUST PROBLEM) OR A FUME RELATE https://plaincars.com/make/subaru-wagon https://plaincars.com/make/subaru-wagon#complaint-651900 Wed, 02 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT WHENEVER THE TEMPERATURE DROPS SIGNIFICANTLY (E.G. BELOW 32DEG), A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL IS EMITTED FROM THE CAR UPON STARTING. IT EVENTUALLY SEEMS TO GO AWAY OVER 10-30MIN, BUT IT CAN BE EXTREMELY STRONG. WE JUST ENCOUNTERED THE PROBLEM TODAY (THE COLDEST DAY IN ALLENTOWN THIS WINTER), BUT WHEN WE HAD THE PROBLEM LAST YEAR, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY ANY CLEAR CAUSE.

THE ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVED SO HIGH THAT I HAD TO STAND ON THE BRAKE TO KEEP FROM CRASHING INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK AND THE ENGINE RETURNED TO NORMAL IDLE. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE GAS PEDAL THE ENTIRE TIME! *JB https://plaincars.com/make/subaru-wagon https://plaincars.com/make/subaru-wagon#complaint-506672 Mon, 15 Nov 2004 00:00:00 GMT MY CAR WILL STARTUP JUST FINE. UPON NEAR A STANDSTILL AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN IT WILL HESTITATE OR STALL COMPLETELY. I HAVE TO KEEP MY LEFT FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE RIGHT FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL TO KEEP IT GOING.

WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHED AROUND 31,000 MILES, IT BEGAN TO SHAKE PERCEPTIBLY WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE SHAKING GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND IT WAS FOUND THAT THE ROTORS HAD WORN UNEVENLY. THE ROTORS WERE TURNED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM UNDER THE VEHICLE'S 36,000 MILE/3 YEAR WARRANTY. IT IS MY OPINION THAT THE ROTORS SHOULD https://plaincars.com/make/subaru-wagon https://plaincars.com/make/subaru-wagon#complaint-196678 Wed, 09 Feb 2000 00:00:00 GMT CONSUMER WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE HAD VEERED INTO HIM.
