Car smells horribly like gas fumes when turned on, more so in the colder temperatures. So many complaints online, I'm surprised Kia hasn't issued a recall. Breathing gas fumes for long periods of time can possibly cause cancer or other problems...would be horrible if Kia had a lawsuit on their hands for faulty equipment causing health problems in their car owners...
