| Description of the problem | The past several years my kia has stalled multiple times upon refueling. I have stopped topping off while refueling. The car cuts off while driving or whiling idling. It gives off an awful gas smell. It has shut off on highways and in city while driving. I have researched this issue and find many kia owners with the same problem. I am constantly given different diagnostics from kia authorized service centers. Replacements for the fuel system assemble have totaled in the thousands. |
