Our Hyundai sante fe sport smells like gasoline. The odor is very loud and nauseating. We parked it outdoors and the smell is still very loud and immediately noticeable from inside the vehicle and even walking by. We looked it up and saw an article in consumer reports (by [xxx] on may 18th describing this same thing. The article states the cars are being recalled however, we had our vehicle towed to thornton road Hyundai and were told there is no recall. They have diagnosed it as a leak in the top valve of the cover gasket and are charging $365 to repair it. Additional note - on July 8th, as we drove from atlanta to orlando, we witnessed a silver Hyundai sante fe sport on fire (completely engulfed in flames) on the highway. We are very concerned and would like for this concern to be taken seriously. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
