Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On cold mornings, during warm-up a pronounced raw fuel smell is evident in the car and especially under the hood of my 2002 subaru wrx, it was taken to the dealership and to an independent shop, neither of whom could replicate the complaint, but further research has turned up a tsb from subaru on the matter, yet the dealership did not act on that. i feel this condition poses a serious safety threat, as it can easily lead to a fire. *jb
