My 2014 santa fe sport has a strong gasoline odor in the cabin but it can also be smelled outside the car. The smell is the highest when the car is turned off and sits for a short time. The odor is so strong that the service tech had to get out of the car so the odor could dissipate. I have had it to the dealer twice to be looked at and they could not find an issue. They definitely could smell the odor when it was…

Car ceases to accelerate as you turn a corner; also sometimes as you accelerate from a stop even though the gas pedal is in the same position as when you started. It will then jump as though you had floored the pedal. The lack of acceleration nearly caused an accident recently when making a left turn; the car following me nearly rear-ended me after i first started to accelerate and then my car slowed when the…

I purchased this vehicle the end of june 2014, which i think i got a lemon. My gas release cap would not open and was told that a part needed to be order. I took my car in to south boulevard hyundai yesterday morning, so they (service tech) can open the gas cap so i could put gas in my car. I don't think parts should be breaking like that in the short time that i had the car, so the cap was open and the service tech…

This has ended up in numerous hesitations and near accidents when entering into traffic. On friday, 1/29/16 while exiting from the 9th tier of a parking garage the hesitation happened on all 9 tiers as i rounded the corner to the next tier and began to accelerate. I have an appointment again…

Again, the service report was…

Occasionally right after i fill the car with gas there is an overpowering odor of gas inside the car for a day or so. I live in new jersey, where self-service is not allowed, and sometimes they fill it to the absolute limit, which may be the cause. Regardless, this is terribly unsafe because gasoline fumes are toxic. The odor is not from a little spillage on the body of the car, from the hose at the gas station. It…

At 8,000 miles the check engine light came on. Took it into the dealer and they said the gas canister overflow was full causing the check engine light to come on. They replaced the gas canister and filter under warranty. At 14,000 the check engine light came on - took it to the dealer - they said i had overflowed the gas on fillup, and i had to pay $800-900 to get it fixed. I never top off the tank. It sounds like a…
