For at least 3 yrs now, we've been experiencing very strong raw fuel smell in the cabin in cold weather especially when the temp drops near freezing point in the winter. The fuel smell in the cabin happened when engine was on and the car was either stationary, in motion of any speed in cold weather. We didn't notice the fuel smell in the summer or in warm weather months. The fuel smell was so bad that at time we had to open the windows in the winter to air it out. Our biggest concern is that it might catch on fire and compromise our safety. Subaru has recall no. Wvk-21 for 2002-2003 Subaru wrx models, but not for other models with the same engine and model years. Please see that Subaru investigates the problem and makes the appropriate repairs. Many thanks, andrew.

Fumes accumulate in the passenger compartment when driving in temperatures below freezing. Dealer states 'didn't smell any fumes'. Replacing exhaust system didn't fix the problem.
