Consumer Description

ON MANY OCCASIONS, SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS 2014 KIA RIO, IT HAS HAD A HORRIBLE, INTENSE ODOR OF GASOLINE THAT IS SO STRONG IT OVERWHELMS ANYONE NEAR IT. IT STARTS AFTER 20-30 MINUTES OF DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 4 OR 5 TIMES AND THE WORKERS CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. ONE ONE OCCASION, THE MECHANICS CHANGED SOMETHING CALLED THE PURGE CANISTER BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. I READ ON THE NHTSA THAT AT LEAST TWO OTHER CAR OWNERS COMPLAINED OF THE SAME. I HAVE A NEW BORN AND A 7 YEAR OLD AND I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR.THE CAR WAS PURCHASED FOR MY DAUGHTER WHO HAS TWO
