Other Fuel System Hoses Lines/piping, And Fittings Problems of Kia Motor RIO

This is my second post. My fuel system has been acting up the last 1-2wks. I noticed while driving one day that the fuel light came on and the needle moved to empty on my dashboard. I had put a full tank of gas in my car less than 24hr earlier and only driven 20mi. So I was quite alarmed. I stopped to check my fuel cap. Checked for leaks. But there was no obvious issue. The light eventually went off and the needle rose back up to the full reading. Weird of course. I figured it was a glitch so I didn't think much of it. However the same issue cont'd to occur over the next several days. And my check engine light eventually came on. Took vehicle to autozone and was told there is an issue w/ my fuel sensor system. Greatness news ever b/c I am still dealing w/ my airbag light issue from close to two months ago!!!!!!! I have had some help from the dealer regarding the airbag matter, which I am thankful for. However I am becoming very concerned about my vehicle now that I have a new issue in less than two months. I understand cars require maintenance. But the cost and need for maintenance should be a more reasonable burden for the owner. Because this is becoming unbearable. Not sure what I will do with my car long term. My husband and I do plan to fix both issues as time and money permits. But I will definitely look into selling my car soon and seriously consider another dealer for future car purchases.
