general problems of the 2003 Kia Motor Sorento

Without notice this vehicle stopped accepting fuel properly. When you attempt to refuel, gasoline doesn't leak out, it sprays as if under pressure. My wife, daughter and I have each been sprayed on different occasions. Even filling very slowly causes fuel to spray from vehicle. I would be glad to video it as it occurs. It occurs every time and creates a very serious fire hazard for my family as well as other customers at the filling station. I recently had an ase certified technician evaluate the vehicle and no problem was found. This was going to be my daughters first car but I don't feel its safe for her and wouldn't want to trade it to someone and endanger them.

The contact owns a 2003 kia Sorento. The contact stated that while refueling, fuel began to spill out from the fuel filler neck. The failure recurred whenever the vehicle was refueled. The fuel light also began to illuminate on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the fuel cap was replaced; yet, the failure continued to occur. The vehicle was taken back to an authorized dealer where the fuel light was reset; however, the repair did not correct the failure. The failure mileage was 145,000.

My 2003 kia Sorento kept losing antifreeze and to find out the reservoir had a crack in it. Also, after I purchase bridgestone fire destination tires a year later they were worn after spending $600. 00 I had to have two of them replaced within a year. P245/70r16. Also 2 defects recalls when my car was put in the shop one from 2007 sc073 and sc072 when my check engine light came on. It was still on after the car was supposedly fixed by quirk kia in braintree. When I was driving out of the parking lot the check engine light was still on. I was told the car was fine and it was just a sensor and to fix it the cost would be over $200. A year later, I brought it to get a sticker, they rejected my for another recall that should have been fixed when I brought it in last year. The recall was from 2005. Now I am trying to contact the dealership because of the inconvenience of me going to get this fixed when it should have been taken care of last year. I will never buy a kia again, the dealership does not care about their cars or customers.

I have a 2003 kia Sorento and last year it started to spray gas out at me everytime I went to fill it up. I took it in to have it checked and they couldn't find anything. My kia is still doing this and I am getting tired of getting sprayed with gas everytime I try to put gas in the thing. It needs fixed and kia should be held responsible for this. This is a hazard and somebody will eventually get hurt. Please help me with this situation.

Consumer stated there was a gas leak in vehicle. She first noticed gas coming out of the vehicle on July 5, 2005. She took the vehicle to the dealership and it was fixed, but they did not tell her why it was leaking. Dealership stated it was their fault, and it was the third one in the shop to fix. She has been smelling gas for a couple of days.

I purchased a 2003 kia Sorento in Feb 2003, vehicle spins over for quite sometime and then slowly finally turns over, I have taken it into the dealer 2 times now and they have said it was the fuel relay switch and vehicle still has the problem so I am taking it into the dealer for the 3rd time and they swear it is a fuel problem so we'll see if it's going to get fixed.
