Description of the problem	I went to put fuel in my kia sorrento as i do every two weeks at the same gas station same pump. I engaged the pump as always put the nozzle in and when i pushed the lever within 30 seconds there was a gurgling noise and gas spewed all over me, the car and the sidewalk. I went in to get the attendant who had to bring out kitty litter to cover the gas on the ground. She had me move to a different pump and assisted me with trying to put fuel in the vehicle. The same thing happened again. I called kia and they told me it would cost 800 to 1000 to fix. Now i am fueling the car with 5 gallon containers a little at a time. This is a safety hazard for the driver, other patrons and the gas station as well.
