Consumer Description

BESIDE THE TAKATA RECALL, THE CAR IS LEAKING GAS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW 20 DEGREES. THE INTERIOR IS FILLED WITH THE SMELL OF FUEL WHEN IT IS COLD. OBVIOUSLY THE SAME PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO MORE CARS AND ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS A SEARCH ON GOOGLE FOR GAS SMELL WRX WHEN IT'S COLD. OR SIMILAR. APPARENTLY THE FUEL LINES SHRINK WHEN IT'S COLD AND THE CLAMPS DO NOT HOLD AND LEAK GAS ON A HOT ENGINE RIGHT BY THE MANIFOLD. IT MOST CERTAINLY CAN CAUSE A FIR AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. ESPECIALLY WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.
