Description of the problem	There has been an odor of gasoline entering the passenger cabin of the vehicle. I noticed it is "worse" when i fill the vehicle with gas but the problem occurs more frequently than that. I do not top off the tank. The pump shuts off when full, and i stop pumping. This odor starts when sitting at a stoplight and stays in the cabin until i'm moving again. I thought it only started when i came to a stop at a light and sat for a couple of minutes, however when i was driving home at slow speeds (15-25 mph) continuous, the smell was constant. Lately it is so bad i have to roll down the window. One time, i almost pulled over at the roadside, and was going to get out of my car to get fresh air, but there was too much traffic. There are no fuel leaks that i can find. No standing fuel under the car after i park. It has done this most times i've driven the car to more or less degrees, but not everytime - most times. I have not been to a dealer yet, but i will be taking it in to have it checked. Apparently there are quite a few other owners of this car who have noticed this same thing based on a hyundai internet forums. But i did not have this problem until 2010. I can't imagine that this is not a safety issue with the gas odor. Not only are passengers having to inhale these fumes, but i'm wondering if it could be a potential source of fire/explosion. I'm not so sure these are just very few, isolated incidents. I see a problem starting to emerge. Certainly, i will not drive a car that i have to smell gas fumes nearly every time i drive it, not even to mention the profound safety problem this may cause.
