Vehicle has terrible toxic odor that will not go away
Like the car, but can't stand to get into it. There are a lot of Hyundais with this issue, and so far, no one has been offered any resolution. My car has a toxic mildew/chemical smell. The dealership says it's a new car smell, or that they don't smell anything. EVERYONE who has been invited to sit in my car will tell you that the smell is so bad they wouldn't ride in my car. Corporate Customer Care hasn't really done anything to solve the problem (the latest is that they've asked the dealership to order a mold test kit). They also don't admit that they have had hundreds of complaints about this issue. Right now I'm stuck with a $30K car loan on a car that makes me ill to drive and that no one will ride in with me. Do yourself a favor. Don't let your dealer start up your car and run the A/C before your test drive. Insist on opening a closed car that has been on the lot, and if you smell the slightest hint of anything noxious, look at another car. Don't get screwed over like so many of us have been.
