Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2002 subaru impreza wrx. i have been experiencing a gas smell in the cabin and engine compartment. i thought that maybe my car was acting up but i know realize that this is a widely recognized problem. i cannot drive around with my windows open in subzero weather it is ridiculous. i realize that the problem is caused by a loose fuel fitting or two that you need to remove parts to get to. this is expensive and subaru needs to be responsible for their mistake. this is my only vehicle and i need to get it fixed but i am a college kid that pays for my own school and lives on my own, i do not have the money to fix a factory malfunction. *nm
