Frequent noxious gas fumes in the cabin of the vehicle. Often when the vehicle is sitting idle, or starting, there is a strong smell of gas in the cabin. This issue began a couple weeks after purchasing the vehicle (February 3) and has happened most recently on May 28. The incident on May 28 was so toxic that I developed a headache and had to open all windows to try to relieve the issue.

Test drove the car and didn't smell due to using A/C. on day of purchase, I changed the air to recirculate in cabin. That is when the inside of vehicle started smelling like gas with recirculating air on. In the first few minutes I did not notice the smell and assumed it was the "brand new" car smell but later after getting on the highway, the smell became very noticeable and caused me to feel dizzy and almost vomit. I pulled over and inspected the car to see where the smell was coming from and noticed the smell was mainly in the second row passenger area, where my 3 month old child and wife were sitting! I opened all the doors and for some reason changed air vent from recirculating to fresh air mode. Was late at night and called salesman but he could not help me with anything other than telling me to bring it in the next morning. I had work in the morning so I decided to just bear with it and open the windows if the smell became too unbearable. After driving for about 5-10 minutes, the smell started to slowly fade away. I have yet to drive the vehicle again and will see if the gas smell comes back with the recirculating mode on. Also, the smell was not noticeable with engine off, since the air vents were also off.

The vehicle was repaired, but the noise recurred days later. The contact had been unable to receive a solution from the dealer and was waiting on a response from the manufacturer. The approximate failure mileage was 8.
