| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2002 subaru wrx. in feb. 2007 i started the car and strong gasoline smell entered the cabin. i searched the internet and found that this is a well know defect in the 2002 model when starting in cold weather. the dealer knew the trouble well and fixed it with change in fuel line near intake manifold. my question is why this serious flaw did not trigger a recall when a fire could certainly result from leaking fuel near the manifold? |
