Outback 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 135,906 miles
The consumer states that the 1996 Subaru Outback was having a problem with the gas tank filler guard and pipe. The guard rusted from debris over the years, and dirt and debris were getting underneath the guard. The result was rusting and leaking gas from the gas tank. The gas tank was noticed leaking last week. The owner has contacted the dealer, has E-mailed and contacted Subaru via phone. They seemed not interested in the fact that the car was old.
