Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: When it gets really cold out i get a very noxious smell of raw gas in the passenger compartment of my 2002 subaru wrx. the smell also fills my garage when i park the car. the fumes are very potent and i am fearful of a fire. from what i have learned it is due to fuel leaks at the fuel lines, but they can't be reached unless you remove the manifold and it is a $500 job. my vehicle has 95000 miles on it, but i know i reported it to the dealership when it was still under warranty, though they have no record of that. this is a safety and health issue.*ak
