Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: There is a very heavy raw fuel smell comming from the engine compartment! i live in minnesota and this week was very cold (0 degrees f). i can see fuel leaking in my engine bay and gas fumes are all over when i pop my hood. i have a 2002 subaru wrx and my car has a techincal service bulletin out for this exact problem. this is a huge safety concern and my car could start on fire at any moment with fuel leaking on my hot engine. why doesn't subaru fix this for free when it is putting people's lives in danger? *ak
