  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

From delivery, have had a strong smoke odor from the trunk. Sprayed several times with Fabreze with no results. Anyone have any answers?
 
Does it smell like burning circuitry, or something else? Smokey is kind of vague.
 
I have the same smell - its smoky, peaty, dirt like in the odor. It does not go away but is isolated to the trunk. Is noticeable in the morning and then it disappears. Definitely not the odor from burning electrical items.

I believe Hyundai was testing out a new technology in the trunk:

Mine had the same odors for the 1st 4000 miles. The mechanic said it was undercoating burning off close to the exhaust.
