CR-V

  • 11 miles
Test drove the car and didn't smell due to using A/C. on day of purchase, I changed the air to recirculate in cabin. That is when the inside of vehicle started smelling like gas with recirculating air on. In the first few minutes I did not notice the smell and assumed it was the "brand new" car smell but later after getting on the highway, the smell became very noticeable and caused me to feel dizzy and almost vomit. I pulled over and inspected the car to see where the smell was coming from and noticed the smell was mainly in the second row passenger area, where my 3 month old child and wife were sitting! I opened all the doors and for some reason changed air vent from recirculating to fresh air mode. Was late at night and called salesman but he could not help me with anything other than telling me to bring it in the next morning. I had work in the morning so I decided to just bear with it and open the windows if the smell became too unbearable. After driving for about 5-10 minutes, the smell started to slowly fade away. I have yet to drive the vehicle again and will see if the gas smell comes back with the recirculating mode on. Also, the smell was not noticeable with engine off, since the air vents were also off.
