    Gas smell after scraping bottom

    So I was entering a driveway that had a steep incline for a few feet then dipped back down. The car scraped it somewhere around the middle and now I’ve noticed a gas like smell. I only notice from inside the car really. It’s not really pungent but it’s definitely noticeable. It just happened and...

    burning transmission fluid smell

    I have a 2014 first gen Genesis RSpec with the 5.0 liter (25K miles). Recently I was in an area where I could open it up a bit. I place the shifter in sport mode (triptronic?) and floored it. Acceleration was great of course with gears shifting at close to the red line and was able to reach a...

    Dead Animal Smell!

    So I have a 2012 Rspec and my dad has a 2013 V6. My dad's interior started smelling a little funky a few years back and it eventually went away. It was pretty nasty for a while. Somewhere inbetween spilled milk and the smell of decomp. Recently my car has started getting funky too. Neither...

    Turn on A/C or Heat - Musty Smell

    When I first turn on air or heat I get a very musty odor and have to roll down the windows. It is as-if there is water sitting in the vents and getting stagnant. Anyone have this issue or had it resolved at the dealer?

    Scary Melted Plastic Smell

    I drove home from the movies this evening and opened the sunroof. Half way through the ride we started smelling a very strong melted/melting plastic smell. I thought it was something we drove past. When I got home I still smelled it. When I walked around the car it was VERY strong. It was...

    What makes the urine smell from A/C go away after a while?

    This is a sister thread to http://genesisowners.com/hyundai-genesis-forum/showthread.php?t=16354&page=2. Now I understand that the bad, urine smell from the A/C might be coming from mildew. What puzzles me is why the smell goes away after having the A/C turned on for a while. It is certain...

    Terrible smell from the A/C

    For the first few minutes, the A/C emits really bad smell, whether it's on A/C or heating. Something like rotting fish. Then it goes away -- or maybe my nose is fatigued -- after a few minutes. I've had new cars before, but it's the first time a new car within the first year of purchase is...

    Burnt smell

    So I just picked up the Genesis from the show room and when I got home I noticed a burn plastic like smell from the exhaust area. Anything I need to worry about? Didn't get this smell with other new cars I've bought before. It was driven about 50km when I picked it up.

    Brand new engine, smell burning oil.

    Ok guys, I just picked up my Genny after having a new (refurbished by Hyundai) long block installed after I threw a rod. I drove the 40 miles home and it runs just fine but when I stopped at a light about half way home I could smell burning oil. I stopped and got out, went to the rear where...

    Burning Rubber Smell..

    We just towed our 2012 Genny 2,000 miles across the country on a U-haul tow trailer/carrier (NOT a dolly). Last Thursday (7th) a few hours before we put in on the trailer, we had the Nav update done as well as an oil change at our local dealer in Sierra Vista, AZ. From the dealer we drove it 2...

    Gasoline smell after fill up

    On occasions after a fill up, I have a strong odor of gasoline inside the car. No, I didn't over fill or spill any gasoline. Just a regular fill up. Anyone else?

    Do you smell gas?

    Well, the other day when the temps were nudging 117, I fueled up early in the morning when the temperature was about 100. I never top off unless I am taking a long trip, so there was some breathing room in the tank after I was done. I did a few chores and put probably 40 miles on the car after...

    I love the smell of new R-Spec in the morning

    Just picked up my new 2013 R-Spec in white. I just had to have this color. Short version of the story, bought a 2012 4.6 Tech with the brown interior last year, because the brown leather was not available in the R-Spec. When I seen the white R-Spec, i was sold. My black 4.6 had a painted...
