Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On cold mornings there is a tremendous gasoline smell in side the car. this seems to only happen when the car has sat overnight and when the overnight temp goes below 35f. gas can be smelled in the engine bay and what looks like gas can be seen pooling on the passenger side of the motor. i decided to file this report after speaking with other 2002 subaru impreza wrx owners who indicated that they have the same issue. i believe that this issue presents a fire hazard and that if this issue is wide spread, a mandatory recall is in order. *jb
