I SUFFERED BROKEN LEFT ELBOW, FRACTURE IN MY SKULL,RIBS AND SHOULDER. ALSO SEVERE BRAIN TRAUMA. I HAVE A LOT OF PICTURES, BUT IT WILL ONLY LET ME ATTACH ONE. THERE IS FRONTAL DAMAGE FROM A SMALLER TREE, BUT THE MAJORITY IS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE(MY SIDE) FROM SLAMMING INTO A LARGE TREE.
TAKATA AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. SIDE IMPACT SENSOR DID NOT WORK. THE CAR TRAVELED SIDEWAYS INTO A LARGE OAK TREE IN EXCESS OF 35 MPH . THE POINT OF IMPACT WAS WHERE THE SIDE IMPACT SENSOR WAS LOCATED . NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED . SUBARU HAS BEEN VERY UNCOOPERATIVE WITH ANSWERS AS TO WHY THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY . THIS HAPPENED UPON A RURAL ROAD IN THE FOG . NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED .

SEE ODI NUMBER 10179098 (CONT). I DO NOT KNOW IF SUBARU WILL ASSUAGE MY CONCERNS, BUT I CANNOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE NOT REPORT THIS ISSUE. FIRST I THINK YOU HAVE UNDERESTIMATED THE FIRE DANGER. TRUE THERE HAVE BEEN NO FIRES CAUSED DIRECTLY BY THIS PROBLEM (I THINK), BUT THE PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS IN THE COLD, THERE ARE RELATIVELY FEW WRXS (WHEN COMPARED TO FORD EXPLORERS), AND PEOPLE WHO DRIVE THEM NORMALLY ARE GEARHEADS AND TAKE PRETTY GOOD CARE OF THEIR CARS--I.E. WHEN THEY SMELL FUEL THEY FIX THEIR CAR RAPIDLY, OR THEY HAVE ALREADY MODIFIED THEIR CAR WITH DIFFERENT FUEL LINES AND NO LONGER HAVE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TO QUESTION HOW THOROUGHLY YOU INVESTIGATED THIS ISSUE SINCE YOUR INVESTIGATION ONLY LASTED 5 MONTHS. WERE INDEPENDENT TESTS PERFORMED? FROM YOUR STATEMENT YOU SEEM TO BE TAKING SUBARU'S WORD. THE SMELL CONTINUES AFTER THE CAR IS RUNNING, SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF FUEL ARE INVOLVED, AND THE FUEL DRIPS ONTO THE ENGINE BLOCK OR TURBO-VERY HOT COMPONENTS. I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS ISN'T A FIRE HAZARD. SECONDLY, THE FUMES ARE NOXIOUS. THE FIRST TIME THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED I WAS TRANSPORTING MY NEWBORN BABY DAUGHTER HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL. THIS IS OUR ONLY CAR. PLEASE CONSIDER IF YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR CHILD RIDING AROUND IN A VEHICLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I THINK THIS IS AS MUCH OF A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE FIRE DANGER. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO HELP WITH ANY INVESTIGATION. I WILL PROVIDE AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT, OR ALLOW YOU TO COME TO MY HOME DO ANY DIAGNOSTICS YOU WOULD LIKE TO MY CAR. I HAVE TO ADMIT, I AM SOMEWHAT DISAPPOINTED AT NHTSA'S RESPONSE TO THIS ISSUE. IT SEEMS THAT MANY HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE, AND THE INVESTIGATION HAS NOT BEEN REOPENED. AS A FEDERAL EMPLOYEE I KNOW IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC. I HOPE YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY. I WILL BE SENDING A COPY OF THE NOTE TO MY CONGRESSWOMAN, MY SENATORS, THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON COMMERCE; SCIENCE; AND TRANSPORTATION, AND THE HOUSE TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE. THANK YOU. *NM
THIS IS REGARDING A 2003 SUBARU IMPREZA WRX. I AM EXPERIENCING THE FUEL LEAK ADDRESSED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : PE04002. I AM LOCATED IN ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO. RECENTLY I HAVE HAD THE CAR OUTSIDE IN TEMPERATURES AS LOW AS 30 F (NIGHTS ARE SPENT IN A GARAGE NEXT TO A FURNACE--PROBABLY 40 F). I AM HAVING THE FUEL LEAK THAT YOU AND SUBARU OF AMERICA CLAIM OCCURS AT ONLY "EXTREMELY LOW TEMPERATURES." I HAVE HAD IT OCCUR THREE TIMES, AND BOTH TIMES THE FUEL SMELL PERSISTED AFTER 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING, EVEN WITH WINDOWS OPEN. THE FUEL SMELL WAS BAD ENOUGH THAT IT GAVE ME A HEADACHE AND WAS DETECTABLE IN MY GARAGE THE NEXT DAY BY BOTH MY WIFE AND I (AND MY WIFE DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE SMELL, I ASKED HER TO CHECK THE NEXT MORNING IF SHE SMELLED ANYTHING TO CONFIRM MY NOSE). I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER TO FIX. THEY NEVER MENTIONED THE TSB, THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION, OR HOW COMMON THE PROBLEM IS. THEY DID DIAGNOSE EXACTLY THE PROBLEM NOTED IN THE TSB. AFTER BEING QUOTED NORTH OF $600 TO FIX THE PROBLEM, I BROUGHT THE CAR HOME BECAUSE PARTS NEEDED TO BE ORDERED. RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET I FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB, INCLUDING COMPLAINTS ON NASIOC AND CLUBWRX.COM. I CONTACTED SUBARU OF AMERICA ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I AM STILL WORKING WITH SUBARU OF AMERICA TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT BASED ON OTHERS COMMENTS, SUBARU'S RESPONSE HAS BEEN ERRATIC, AND I AM NOT COUNTING ON ANYTHING. (CONTINUED). *NM
FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS IN COLD WEATHER, USUALLY BELOW 32 DEGREES, THE SMELL OF GASOLINE EXISTED IN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. I HAD IT CHECKED DURING AN LOCAL STATE INSPECTION AND DISCOVERED FUEL WAS LEAKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THIS. I CONTACTED THREE(3) LOCAL DEALERS, THAT ALL NEW ABOUT TSB 09-36-03. THEY ALL QUOTED THE SAME $500 ESTIMATE TO REPAIR. TWO OF THE DEALERS, SUBARU OF DALLAS AND HUFFINES SUBARU IN DALLAS TEXAS INFORMED ME THAT FAILURE TO CORRECT THE CONDITION COULD RESULT IN AN ENGINE FIRE. GIVEN THE SEVERE NATURE OF THE DEFECT, THAT THE MANUFACTURER CLEARLY KNOWS ABOUT, THIS SHOULD BE UPGRADED TO A RECALL. 1) THE DANGER OF LEAKING FUEL DUE TO A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. 2) THE HAZARDS OF INHALING GASOLINE FUMES 3) THE ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD AND VIOLATIONS OF EPA REGULATIONS RELEASE GASOLINE AND GASOLINE VAPORS INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. *JB
CAR WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON CRASH AT ABOUT 45 MPH INTO A FIRE HYDRANT IN THE CITY OF BELL. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS EXPANDED AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH. SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
HAD TO BRAKE HARD ON SEMI-BUMPY PAVEMENT AND ABS ACTIVATED AND LOST ALL STOPPING POWER. ABS IS WAY TOO SENSITIVE AND OVER-REATIVE. I ENDED UP SLIGHTLY CRASHING INTO VEHICLE IN FROT OF ME. THIS ABS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES AND I WAS WELL AWARE OF IT, HOWEVER I WAS STILL UNABLE TO COMPENSATE AND MAKE A COMPLETE STOP.*AK
My 2003 Subaru Impreza WRX has a very strong fuel odor that is coming into the cabin when I start my car up on cold days. It's been unusually cold here in Washington state this winter with temperatures in Seattle dipping well below freezing. I see that there is a recall for this exact problem for my exact car (https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2009/RCONL-09V468-4248.pdf). But when I called the dealer (Michael's Bellevue Subaru), and then subsequently called Subaru (1-800-SUBARU3), they told me that they will not fix this issue, since this recall does not apply to my state (Washington). I think that's not right. It is the exact same problem of cold weather causing this fuel line to leak, and they should honor this recall.
I NOTICED FRESH SMELL OF GASOLINE EVERYTIME I START THE CAR. I LOOK AT THE FUEL LINE AND ITS SIPPING FUEL.
SUBARU OF AMERICA RECALL WVK-21 OCCURED WHILE DRIVING AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE, CAUSING SMOKE TO RISE FROM ENGINE BAY. SUBARU OF AMERICA REFUSED TO FIX THE ISSUE AS MY VIN DID NOT COME UP IN THEIR SYSTEM WITH THE RECALL.
ON THE NIGHT OF 12/6/2020 I WAS BACKING OUT OF A FRIENDS DRIVEWAY TO DRIVE HOME, WHEN I REACHED THE STREET, I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK AND A GRINDING NOISE. I GOT OUT OF MY CAR TO INVESTIGATE WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED AND THE FRONT PORTION OF MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM HAD COMPLETELY LOST ALL STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY. FORTUNATELY MY CAR WAS AT A LOW SPEED AND I DID NOT LOSE CONTROL (PICTURES ATTACHED). HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE AND I WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE THE EVENTS ON 12/6/2020 INDICATES THE REMEDIATION STEPS PROPOSED BY SUBARU ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE AS THIS PART FAILED CATASTROPHICALLY AFTER THESE STEPS HAD BEEN PERFORMED. THE SAFETY RECALL REMEDIATION STEPS IN QUESTION ARE THAT OF: "TYPE: SAFETY | SAFETY RECALL: WVX34 | NHTSA CAMPAIGN: 11V464000" ACCORDING TO SUBARU'S WEBSITE FOR THIS VEHICLE, THE SAFETY RECALL WAS COMPLETED: HTTPS://WWW.SUBARU.COM/VEHICLE-RECALLS.HTML/VIN=[XXX] ACCORDING TO THE CARFAX REPORT, THE SAFETY RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON 2/7/2012 ONLY 5 MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL WAS ISSUED. (SCREENSHOT ATTACHED) THE NATURE OF THE FAILURE AND THE DESCRIPTION OF THE ORIGINAL SAFETY RECALL SHOW THAT THE TESTING STEPS AND REMEDIATION STEPS ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR A COMPLETED SAFETY RECALL AS THE PART DID END UP FAILING AFTER THE ADDITIONAL COATING OF ANTI-CORROSIVE HAD BEEN APPLIED TO THE LOWER CONTROL ARM OF MY VEHICLE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
