Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchased a used 2002 subaru impreza wrx and have been smelling gas. i have read a previous investigation, pe04002. i understand there is no immediate safety concern for fire, but when driving over long periods the smell does not go away and has caused light headedness for myself and passengers, to the point that i have had to pull over and get out of the car. i also am curious why a recall has not been issued for a known defect, found and acknowledged by the manufacturer. leaking gas is dangerous to inhale and dangerous to the environment. i would urge you to investigate this issue further. *nm
