There is a very strong raw gas smell that permeates the cabin and outside the vehicle. It is very noticeable upon starting and when the vehicle is at rest and running. I have taken this vehicle to numerous mechanics to include the local kia dealer to resolve the problem - new fuel filter, exhaust, etc. With no positive results. A search of the internet turned up a very common problem with the 99-02 Sportage gas tanks leaking due corrosion caused by poor design/material. I am filing this complaint in hopes that the NHTSA will conduct an investigation and recall of this make/model/yr vehicle to correct this very serious problem. This vehicle was purchased as a gift for teenage driver. I will not allow my children to drive it due my concerns for their safety.

Fuel spill at wawa gas station. Recently my son fueled my 2002 kia Sportage as I went in wawa; he didn't know fuel problem tried to fill the tank with that auto fill clip (where don't have hold) gas pump. Gallons of fuel spit, spilled in wide area pump other patrons avoided the area. Neighboring gas pumps had people on cell and smokers car were start up moving out with exhaust pipe in the direction of the spill. My son and his clothing was saturated with gas. This problem with the gas spilling and spitting several feet out of the gas tank is getting worst. The constant fuel vapors are causing me health problems. Anywhere I pump gas gasoline spills, everyone looks at me; I try to carefully to put the minimal taking 10-15minutes but cannot avoid spills. I'm retired can't afford another car and paid over $3800. 00 in engine light, fuel repairs recently filed a complaint with the bbb. This problem is documented I have brought it to mieneke and local kia dealer who keep wrong parts replacing parts at my expense. . Read more...

When gas tank is filled, gas leaks out of pipe leading to gas tank. Which in my opinion could cause a fire and/or explosion. Car is currently at the dealer to correct the problem.

The filler neck rusted and the fuel cap was leaking. The filler neck was replaced, but immediately after the problem recurred. The transmission fluid was worn and the transmission was flushed.

The contact states that 2001 kia Sportage was having a problem with the gas line. When the consumer put gas into the gas tank the gas was leaking from underneath the vehicle. The charcoal box has been changed. The gas was shooting out back toward the person putting the gas in the tank. The vehicle has been in the shop three times over the samething. The other two times that the consumer brought the vehicle back home from the dealership it was okay for a few days. The dealership was trying to fix the vehicle. It will run for a couple of days, and when going to get gas the vehicle will only hold $4 worth of gas. Afterrwards the gas would shoot out of the filler pipe. The vehicle I stalled while driving. When stopping at a stop sign the vehicle died and then started right back up. Kia said that she may be overfilling the tank. Kiachecked various parts and the vehicle will still not run correctly.
