Your Telluride is experiencing a fuel pressure problem (code P0087) that causes it to stall unexpectedly, rough idling, and poor acceleration—even after Kia's dealership claimed to fix it with software updates. The stalling has happened multiple times, including dangerously in busy traffic on a hill with your family in the car, and the problem returned immediately after the dealer visit. The issue is likely caused by a faulty high-pressure fuel pump that may need inspection or replacement.

I'm reporting a fuel tank failure where fuel started leaking from the seal of tank (see photos).
