Consumer Description

WE DISCOVERED A FUEL LEAKAGE AFTER GETTING GAS, BUT DID NOT DISCOVER THIS LEAK UNTIL AFTER DRIVING HOME FROM THE GAS STATION. THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE AND WE NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WENT DOWN RATHER QUICKLY. AFTER GETTING HOME FROM THE GAS STATION, WE NOTICED THE SMELL OF GAS WAS STILL VERY STRONG AND THAT WAS WHEN WE NOTICED THE LEAK, ON OUR DRIVEWAY. IN THE TIME THAT WE WERE DRIVING, WE HAD BEEN LEAKING GASOLINE THE WHOLE TIME, AND COULD HAVE LOST OUR LIVES ON OUR WAY HOME. WE TOOK OUR KIA TO BE INSPECTED AND REPAIRED AND THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL RAIL WAS DAMAGED: IT HAD A CRACK ALONG ONE SIDE.
