While trying to fill the tank (especially on empty) the gas hose continually clicks off. You have to pull the nozzle out or up.. making sure there is no REAL contact with the gas filler tube to let the air escape or the nozzle thinks your tank is full. You have to hold it that way sometimes the entire fill up. Apparently Kia has a history of this issue, yet "pretends" they have never heard of it before. No fix offered or suggestions by them. I guess it's ok to spend 20 minutes maneuvering a gas nozzle around to try to fill the tank of your brand new car.

This is the third time I have gone to pump gas and it would only pump a short time before the gas wouldn't pump anymore. It just clicked like my tank was full and I purposely waited until I was almost at empty to fill it up. I tried pulling the nozzle out and reinserting it but it did the same thing. I even tried just pumping in short bursts but it still wouldn't pump. I have tried several gas stations. What really concerns me is the overwhelming gas smell inside the car after attempting to fill. It is so bad I have to open my windows.
