Description of the problem	When starting the vehicle in cold whether, the cabin fills up with the smell of gas. After doing some research and talking to a mechanic, it is clear that is a common problem with these cars. I also see that many more of these complaints have been made, but not openned as an investifgation. The gas lines (some say gaskets too) shrink in cold whether and fumes or gas leak. When the engine warms up, the rubber compounds expand and the smell this goes away. This can take 10-15 minutes. It seams like most people just live with this beacsue it goes away at warm up, but i have a pregenant wife and think it is ridiculous to have to put up with gas fumes in the cabin at all, not to mention there is no telling if some of those fumes are actually gas leaking near the cylinder. This could become very dangerous. Please open an investigation into this issue for the health and safety of drivers and passengers everywhere.
