Fumes entering cab (sometimes)

I have a 2014 sport and experience this as well. I thought it was just normal until my girlfriend smelled it too -Raj

Thanx Raj,

Do you smell it ONLY when the heater is on? on outside air? recirc? both?

Do you smell it ONLY under hard acceleration?

Sometimes mine smells a little too strong to be considered normal I think.

I smell it a lot when I start the car. When I am normal driving at times and always under moderate acceleration, like I rarely bust redline, just normally to 5k. I was spirited driving the other day for about two minutes and it was pretty bad when I came to a stop. I am not sure about the ac thing. I normally leave mine off all the time, literally all the time. It is a really strong gas smell.

Thanx Raj,
Mine does NOT smell at all like GASOLINE, and never when I start the car.

I think we have two different problems. I'd be more worried about yours!

I have berk hfc's and it is probably because of more airflow. Less restrictions. With stock cats I didn't have that problem really.
