1 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem of the 2005 Kia Motor Sportage

Failure Date: 10/10/2013

This complaint is about the 2005 kia . First the airbag light has come on and has been on for the last three to five years, the auto mechanic that I use at first said that it was just the light indicator and was not problematic except that the light was on but now is saying that since the light is on the airbag may not deploy , and that of course is a big problem. Secondly, when filling the gas tank and when completed the car stalls several times before starting, problem does not occur again until the next refill. Third reoccurring problem is that one of the rear brake lights short out on a reoccurring basis.

2 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem of the 2002 Kia Motor Sportage

Failure Date: 01/13/2010

For the past 3 years when going to the gas station to refuel the gas tank, with the car stopped and the engine off, gas suddenly spurts out the gas tank and splashes onto me and my clothing. I have called my kia dealer, but they say there is no recall for this. There are numerous complaints posted on this very same issue. Why would you let your consumers go through this?? would they purchase another kia? of course not! please do the right thing and take action to rectify this for all kia owners who are getting splashed with gas when going to the gas station to refuel their tank. This is unbelievable that this can be left to go on for so long. Is a recall to fix this going to cost to much for the kia corp. ? now, I can only refuel by using a transfer pump and filling 5 gallon gas cans to transfer gas from with the transfer pump. This is not right! fix the issue on behalf of all kia owners.
