Consumer Description

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.
