| Description of the problem | I bought the hyundai less than a year ago. A few months after i bought it, i started smelling gas. I took it to the shop, and was told the gas tank was leaking. After paying an exorbitant amount to replace it, it worked fine. Now less than a year later, i took the car into the shop for a routine inspection and was informed that my new gas tank is leaking and needs to be replaced. What's the problem, hyundai? This is ridiculous! |
