| Description of the problem | I agree with the other complaints about the fuel fumes. My husband had mentioned to me while i was warming my car that the smoke coming from the tail pipe was very strong. I then begin to notice fumes inside the vehicle and thought i was just imaging things. The highway safety commission need to look into to these complaints before someone get killed. I get sick and tired of going to the dealers and they claim nothing is wrong with the car. Hyundai need to wake up and look into these complaints. |
