When fueling my 2003 kia Sorento the gas will spew back out (as if under pressure) onto me, the vehicle and the surrounding area. This is a fire hazard. This happens every time I try to put gas into the Sorento. The dealership said they could not identify the problem without a costly diagnostic test. They did 'look' at the fuel line and could not see a problem. The only way to prevent the gas from spewing is to put the gas in extremely slowly. Filling it slowly seems to prevent the pressure build up that causes the gas to spew. The spewing gas is causing the paint on my vehicle to peel.

1) upon purchase, exhaust smell was strong inside SUV, leading to headaches and queasiness. 2) took it in within weeks (?) 3) a correction was made, part replaced. Since then, the exhaust smell is intermittent, and not as strong. Service does not see further issue.
