| Description of the problem | I have reported this to kia on the dealership level twice and their corporate offices once. I have gas that bubbles up and out of the gas tank. The first time it happened i had the car for about a week. It has been over a year and i still have the problem. It doesn't matter what time of the day, or season, or gas station i use. I have taken it to two dealers, both kia. They have not fixed the problem and don't seem to think it is a safety issue. The most recent event was this past friday. |
