Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2003 subaru impreza wrx wagon. on cold mornings (like today: 3f), there is a raw fuel smell in the passenger compartment. i've talked to other impreza owners that have experienced the same problem, apparently there is a design flaw involving a flexible fuel hose connecting the rigid fuel lines. i've just tried contacting subaru of america (soa) regarding this problem, but they seem to be fighting many owners on covering this obvious safety issue.
