Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Not a new as others have it too and subaru knows of the trouble. upon first starting the 2002 subaru wrx there is a raw gas smell due to a defective part within the fuel system. both the nhtsa and subaru know of this but i have been told by dealers that the full cost of this manufacture defect must be paid by the car owner-i was told by a dealer that failure to do this would result in engine fires. i found this info within this site and cannot understand why subaru is not working with the nhtsa to assist people driving potential fire hazards in fixing as fast as possible the defect. *nm
