Description of the problem | My vehicle smells like gas inside the cabin and i can also see the gas fumes coming out of the gas tank once it hits 100 degrees. It is worse when stopped and stop and go traffic due to the air not blowing it away like it does when you keep driving.. How is this safe? What if someone smokes? Or a spark hits the gas tank. Please check this out so i know my family and i are safe driving this vehicle in the heat.. I had the car checked for leaks and no gas leaks. Hyundai gave me a generic paper about it saying thats what it is suppost to do. I just want to know how safe is this vehicle? |
