Optima 4-cyl

  • 45,000 miles
When I fill my 2008 Kia Optima with gasoline, the pump shuts off but gas gushes out of the tank. My local dealer has claimed to fix the problem, but it still happens. The service dept. Rarely answers their telephone so I can't even call them to get the problem handled.
