Since I have owned this car, during the extreme heat (above 105°F) there is a very strong odor of gasoline emitted from the car. Dealer finds no evidence of any leaks and has indicated this is a normal operating characteristic of Hyundai and there is nothing that can be done about it. We have to leave the garage door open for 30 minutes before the odor subsides enough to close the door.
