Complaint for Kia Sedona 2006

Complaint about FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

Consumer Complaint:
YESTERDAY WE NOTICED A GASOLINE SMELL SURROUNDING OUR 2006 SEDONA VAN. TODAY, THE SMELL WAS NOTICEABLY STRONGER. THE VAN WAS TAKEN TO THE KIA DEALER WHO FOUND A HOLE IN THE FUEL TANK. THE TANK IS NOT CONSIDERED DEFECTIVE, AND WE ARE PAYING FOR A REPLACEMENT. THE DEALERS POSITION IS THAT THE TANK WAS HIT WITH SOMETHING TO CAUSE THE HOLE. I QUESTIONED HOW WE MIGHT HAVE HIT SOMETHING HARD ENOUGH TO PUNCTURE THE TANK WITHOUT NOTICING THE IMPACT. WITH THAT IN MIND, I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH AND FOUND THAT KIA HAS HAD A NUMBER OF RECALLS FOR FUEL TANK PROBLEMS ON OTHER MODELS. I BELIEVE THAT THIS MODEL SHOULD ALSO BE INSPECTED TO DETERMINE IF THERE MAY BE A FLAW IN IT AS WELL. *TR
