I have a serious issue with my 2012 hyundai genesis 5.0 r-spec. I have an ongoing exhaust smell/leak. It is very strong when starting the vehicle and at idle, especially when stopped at a red light. The smell seems to be either raw fuel or raw exhaust that is leaking from somewhere in the system. I have to place my AC system on recirculate or lower a window or the fumes become overwhelming. Once the vehicle is moving the smell subsides. On 01/18/2017 my local dealership preformed an evap service to possibly fix this issue to no avail. A second evap and AC system service on 02/01/17 was preformed and still the problem continues. The dealership says the charcoal fuel tank filter is fine and could not find any leaks in the exhaust system. I believe the smell is coming from the front of the car possibly the exhaust manifold of from the fuel system pluming. The car uses direct injection which is under very high pressure when working. I am worried that to much carbon monoxide could possible build up inside the car and cause an adverse health and safety issue.

My car was serviced 3 times at dealer due to gasoline smell issue after driving 2 hours continuously at high temperature 100+. I have to inhaling the gas most time when I drive back to home. Hyundai is trying to ignore this hazard/safety/health issue... What will happen if I get hit by other vehicle while gas fume is releasing from my car? How about other people seating in my car while I drive this car?

An alarming smell of gas fumes could be smelled emanating from the driver's rear wheel well. I took it to the jim click body shop that had recently repaired the car in that area and they found no leaks but verified the fumesa. The next day I took it to jim click hyundai at the auto mall to be repaired . They could not reproduce the problem. The dealer has reported several occurrences of this type. This is a very hot temp time here as an aside.
