I sympathize with you. I was searching this problem and found your comment. I have a new BMW (2009). The second time I got gas, I heard the nozzle on the pump click as though filled and when I started to take the nozzle out, the gas was overflowing down the side of the car and on my shoes. I drove 2 blocks and the car died. The gas wet something in the fuel line. They towed the car . The service dept. ignored what I told them about the gas overflow (I'm a woman, what would I know?)and kept saying they didn't know what the problem was. Eventually they asked me if they tank overflowed, because the fuel line was wet!.....After that I also watched the pump when I got gas. Yesterday, I had a 1/4 of a tank and went to get gas. It took 4 gallons, the nozzle clicked as though done and when I took the nozzle out, the gas started gushing over the side of the car. The gauge in the car says the tank is half full. Now I'm terrified to get gas. I know everyone says the sensor is in the nozzle but is it possible there is a sensor in the car that could be broken? The first time it happened the dealer said they've never had this problem before. I have also gone to different gas stations. Have you gotten anymore info?

Did you ever find out what the problem was? My 2005 Titan has the same issue and it used to only be a problem when my gastank was full, now it started doing it when my tank is empty making it difficult to fill my tank up w/Gas and not spill half of it on the ground.

No, I have not found out what the problem is. Kia is in denial that there is a problem. I actually took one of the mechanics with me to a gas station neighboring their service center and it did not overflow because the gas at that particular station pumps very slowly (it only does it when it is filling quickly). I asked them to go with me to the Sheetz station (the next closest gas station) the next time I went in, but it was 4 miles away and they said they didn't have the time or manpower to go. I'm pretty frustrated with Kia right now. Let me know if you ever find a solution and I'll do the same.
