Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2011 KIA SEDONA . WHEN I GO AND CRANK THIS VAN I GET THE SMELL OF GASOLINE SO STRONG THROUGHOUT MY VAN. YOU CANNOT STAND TO DRIVE IT. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOUR SITTING STILL OR DRIVING. THE SMELL IS OVER WHELMING AND MAKES YOU SICK TO YOUR STOMACH AND CAUSES A HEADACHE FROM FROM THE SMELL. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL BAR. I HAVE READ OF PLENTY OTHERS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL IF THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING ISSUES ALSO. THIS IS MY FAMILY VEHICLE.
