| Description of the problem | Since july 2010 this car continually gets an odor of gasoline inside. I have had it to the dealer and each time i am there they report that no one knows what the problem is. When this smell gets bad it gives me headaches. This is both a health issue and potentially a fire hazard. Just a few minutes ago i once again called the dealer, conicelli hyundai of conshocken pa, and they said there was no solution yet. I would be surprised if others have not complained to you as there are many comments on-line about this situation. |
