Description of the problem	Engine kept dying on me after i filled up the tank. I have had vehicle or 3 years now and never had this problem before. I don't top off the tank so i don't know how i could have caused this problem. I find it dangerous to drive in these conditions stalling out in rush hour traffic with no warning not even check engine light with 3 kids in the car and gas coming out of the bottom of my car onto the ground. I took it to kia dealer and was told i overfilled the tank and that warranty would not cover damage of charcoal filter and all air and cabin filters filling up with gas so now i am stuck paying $400 that i don't have. It is a known problem to kia but they will not set as recall or help accommodate us with damages and i am a single mom of 3 kid and can't afford this. I did not do anything wrong to cause this and yet we have to pay for it.
