| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I drive a 2002 subaru impreza wrx sedan. when i start the car on cold mornings and turn on the heater with the air recirculation off, a distinct smell of gas comes through the air vents. then, when i open the hood to look for the problem, the smell of gas is even stronger and more noticeable. much like other wrx owners, i have been unable to trace this problem. because of this, i have not made any attempts to fix it. gasoline is widely known to be carcinogenic among many other unfortunate things, and the presence of gasoline in an engine compartment along with sparks and high heat seems extremely dangerous. this problem has been documented by many, many other people for over three years now. *jb |
