Complaints grouped by the component NHTSA recorded
Percentages are of component mentions. A single complaint can name more than one component, so these do not sum to the total complaint count.

Reports submitted to NHTSA, shown in the owner's own words
RUSTED FUEL TANK FUEL LEAKAGE ONTO TAIL PIPE. SUBARU WOULD NOT REPAIR, I DID. SECOND FAILURE RUSTED FUEL RETURN LINE AT TANK FUEL LEAKAGE ON TO TAIL PIPE 06-01-03. *NLM
THE FRONT TIRES REPEATLY (EVERY 3-4 MONTHS) LOOSE AIR AND GO FLAT. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL TIRES OF THE SAME TYPE DO THIS. ACCORDING TO SEARS AND SUBARU, THIS IS THE ONLY TIRE TYPE THAT FITS A JUSTY. WE HAVE ALSO REPLACED ONE RIM. SEARS AND SUBARU HAVE LOOKED AT FLATS AND SAY NOTHING IS WRONG. WE SIMPLY REPAIR WITH FIX-A FLAT, CHECK AIR PRESSURE AND THEN THE TIRE IS GOOD FOR MONTHS. RECENTLY A TIRE WENT FLAT IN A TUNNEL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THE TIRE WILL INSTANTLY LOOSE ALL AIR. WE THINK IT COULD BE WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND THE WHEELS ARE TURNED INTO A CURB ON A HILL AND THEN WHEN YOU DRIVE THE TIRE GOES FLAT SEVERAL MILES DONW THE ROAD (POSSIBLY THE TIRE HAS LOST SOME AIR ALREADY BY BEING PARKED AGAINST THE CURB). (TIRESIZE: P165/65R13)
