Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING VAN, SMELLED FUEL. WENT INTO A STORE AND LATER RETURNED TO DRIVE VEHICLE HOME AND VAN HEAVILY SMELLED OF FUEL. WHEN I CHECKED THE ENGINE AFTER RETURNING HOME , FUEL WAS RAINING FROM THE FUEL INJECTOR RAIL. IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT THE VAN TO A MECHANIC WHO INFORMED US THE FUEL RAIL ROD HAD SPLIT DOWN A WELD SEAM AND WAS COVERING THE ENGINE IN FUEL. HE HAD NEVER SEEN THIS ISSUE BEFORE IN ALL HIS YEARS AS A MECHANIC. ISSUE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON OTHER KIA/HYUNDAI MODELS BUT NOT THIS SPECIFIC MODEL.
