Description of the problem	I started the car on a cold morning and the whole vehicle smelled of gasoline. I'm unable to drive my children in the vehicle until this issue is resolved as i fear they may be inhaling fumes or may suffer a horrible fiery death i risk my own life back and forth to work and notice the smell starts to go away after the car warms up either that or i'm just used to it. My 02 wrx had the same issue and it was recalled. Why haven't the xt issues been recalled? Haddad subaru in pittsfield ma tightened up what they could reach but the issue lies beneath the intake.
