A few months ago I started smelling the odor of raw gasoline in the cabin of my car, I figured since I had put gas in recently that maybe fumes got trapped inside, so as the days passed I could still smell fuel inside the car, even worse if I had the HVAC on or a window or 2 opened. I started some research online about it and there was some suggestion about the weather stripping around all the doors and truck lid, so I inspected them and what I found was that the back seat driver side door sill was a bit off in one place. So feeling encouraged that that would solve my problem, to my surprise it did actually lessen the smell... So months go by and either I got use to the smell or it went away, it wasn't on top of my priority list among many other issues such as turbo completely failing ($3,000 ish) and anyone replacement one week after I got it back from having turbo installed.
During those couple of months I received a recall notice from Hyundai motor stating important recall but didn't say what exactly, so I called the number they pulled up my vin and said NOPE NO RECALL FOR YOU VEHICLE and I stressed the fact that I received a notice and it was concerning to me, still they said no. So low and behold the smell is back and it's even worse now especially whenever I driver the car in extreme hot weather (I live in Las Vegas) I choose to stop driving it any time I smell it getting worse and I have a feeling it is part of a recall of the high pressure fuel line post engine replacement I am fixing to call Hyundai dealer but I'm pretty sure they will way NO NOTHING RECALL RELATED.... absolutely unacceptable, dangerous and any vehicle that smells this bad of raw gasoline in the cabin should not be allowed on the streets.
