NHTSA Complaint #11156685 — 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA

"FIRE HAZARD" RECEIVED AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT UNDER HYUNDAI ENGINE RECALL, I PICKED-UP THE CAR ON 09-13-18. I'VE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS OCCUR IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS. ONE OF THE MAIN ISSUES IS A FUEL/GASOLINE SMELL INSIDE THE CABIN AND AROUND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. NOW THERE IS EXTREMELY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE WHENEVER I JUST TURN ON THE IGNITION WITHOUT STARTING THE CAR. I ALSO NOTICE THAT THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE ON THE GROUND UNDER THE ENGINE AREA. I READ THAT SOME CARS ARE CATCHING ON FIRE AFTER HYUNDAI REPLACED THE ENGINES UNDER THE ENGINE RECALL. MY CONCERN IS FOR SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. THERE IS POTENTIAL THAT MY CAR MAY/WILL CATCH ON FIRE. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN IN OVER THREE WEEKS. I'VE FILED A COMPLAINT ON 12-03-2018 WITH HYUNDAI MOTORS(CASE # 13222827) BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY UPDATES AS OF YET.
