NHTSA Complaint #10259900 — 2002 SUBARU WRX

I DRIVE A 2002 SUBARU WRX IMPREZA, AND IT HAS A GAS LEAK THAT I CAN SMELL INSIDE THE CABIN WHEN ITS COLD OUTSIDE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I FOUND THAT A LOT OF THE SAME MODEL CARS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN IT GETS COLD OUTSIDE THE HARDLINES ON THE ENGINE SHRINK ALLOWING THE SOFTLINES TO SQUIRT GAS ONTO THE ENGINE BLOCK. SUBARU ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM BUT CLAIMS ITS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND WON'T FIX IT. I FEEL ITS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT I'M BREATHING IN GAS, AND CAUSE ANY TYPE OF SPARK UNDER THE HOOD OF MY CAR COULD LEAD TO AN EXPLOSION WHEN IM DRIVING. *TR
