I like everything about this vehicle except the odor.
This is an excellent vehicle in every way except for the strong, persistent odor.. Hyundai has replaced the headrests twice to try to eliminate the odor, but that has not worked. They suggested immersing the inside of the seatback and headrests with odor-free fabreze, which I declined, not wanting another liquid poured or sprayed into a seatback that contains a/c and heating elements, and rex=cognizing that spraying fabreze through the headrest holes would not result in an even distribution of the liquid, and could damage seat components, create mold, or other permanent smells. Several articles in the automotive press, which I provided to Hyundai HQ confirm my concerns with their proposed fix. Subsequently, the service advisor at Pohanka Hyundai has declined to perform any further work on this problem, in violation of their warranty responsibilities.
