Consumer Description

THE 2012 HYUNDAI VELOSTER EMITS A STRONG ODOR OF GAS IN THE CABIN WHEN DRIVEN IN TEMPERATURES OVER 100 DEGREES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS- ALL STATING THAT HYUNDAI STATES THIS IS NORMAL. I HAVE ALSO WENT TO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND BEEN TOLD THAT THIS SMELL IS WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS. THE SMELL IS SO STRONG THAT I HAVE ACTUALLY VOMITED AND MY KIDS HAVE HAD TO LAY DOWN DUE TO NAUSEA. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR NOT.
