| When pumping as into the tank, gas shoots out of the tank like opening a soda after shaking it up. fuel projection is very forceful. no matter if i trickle gas in. i have been rejected from gas stations because truck spits out so much gas & i was told my vehicle is a fire hazard. kia performed two recalls sc092 & sc073. the problem still persists. kia customer care nor the mechanics at bay kia in norfolk, va have been very unhelpful and instead of investigating the problem, say that it is user error! | |||
