Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problems of the 2004 Kia Motor Sorento

While trying to refule the gasoline will suddenly "spray" from the tank. Vehicle stationary.

The contact owns a 2004 kia Sorento. The contact stated that while refueling the vehicle, the fuel would spew out of the tank. The contact also stated that the vehicle had been repaired under a manufacturer recall for the same failure in 2012. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 135,000. The VIN was not available.

While exiting my driveway at home (which is on a an incline and exits onto a state highway) I lost all braking capability. When I took the car into my local garage to have the problem diagnosed I was told the brake lines were completely corroded through which caused the loss of braking ability. While attempting the repairs the mechanic smelled gasoline fumes and found that the fuel lines where they exit the tank has also corroded through. I started to notice under body corrosion several years ago when the parking brake body attachment points on the rear differential corroded and became dislodged. All of this corrosion seems to be occurring much sooner than I would expect and sooner than I have ever experienced with other vehicles I have owned manufacured by other companies.
