Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problems of the 2005 Kia Motor Sorento

I have a 2005 kia and the gas tank seems to be splitting at the seams nothing I did or have done to cause this it has become a big fire risk.

When you pump gas it spits back out of gas tank. It does it every time you go to put gas in pump. It happens at the gas pump when its time to pump gas.

Vehcile was filled up and driven to friends house. Vehicle was stationary at friends house for few hours. When leaving I smelled the odor of gas. Got light to observe puddle of gas under vehicle. I drove home because it was dark and waited to inspect in the morning. When re-inspected it was verified gas was leaking from inside an inset on the bottom of the gas tank.

Bought the car used drove home . . . . Car sat for a while came out to the smell of gas so strong the gas tank is leaking at the seams. . . Tank is damp from gas soaking in. . . . . Bought a used tank fixed it and the leak it 100x worse!!!! you can't see the holes it's as if it's not sealing I have read this is a commom problem in this car. And not a cheep fix!!! no recalls?????.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the fuel tank was leaking and needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was no longer under warranty. The failure mileage was 79,500.
