Finally, I took the car to get fixed, and the mechanic won't fix it because there was nothing wrong with it. What do I do.”

“Bad fuel vapor smell in cabin, no check eng light on. Checked eng light at auto zone anyway, code said vapor valve going to canister/dump after warm up.

“The contact owns a 2001 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the underbody of the vehicle was rusted and caused fifty percent of the brake line was rusted.
