| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving my 2000 kia sportage i started smelling gas i pulled over and looked under the vehicle and found gas leaking i had a mechanic look at it and he informed me gas was coming out of the top of my gas tank by where the fuel pump and gas gauge wiring goes in. i then went on the internet to see if there was any reported problems with this and found there was a recall from kia for the same reason. i the contacted a kia dealer in my area to get it fixed and he told me that the recall doesn't pertain to my vehicle and he but me in touch with kia consumer affairs and the next day (today) they told me that my sportage is not covered by the recall and i'm going to have to pay out of pocket for the repair. is there anything you people can do or i'm i or someone else going to have to die in this vehicle to make them honor their screw up. thank you in advance for your help. if need be i'll go to the press with this problem. *jb |
