general problems of the 2008 Kia Motor Rondo

My check engine light is on. When I refuel my vehicle it has difficulty restarting. Over the course of the last couple months, it has started to stall. Looking at forums I found quite a few people with the same "issue" but no solutions. I have had my vehicle on a diagnostic machine and it comes back with an evap code. The codes have been cleared but come right back on. I see the fuel pump has been recalled, I have had my car since the fall of 2009 and to my knowledge I haven't had this repaired, but for some reason this does not show up when I do the recall search. Has it already been repaired prior to my purchasing the vehicle?.

Takata recall - I purchased my 2008 kia Rondo ex at white bear Mitsubishi on Nov. 20. 2018 . & drove it for two or three days . I was backing out og parking space & I heard a loud noise & a bang & my kia stopped on the spot . I got out to look what happened & my front drivers side tire was completely flat . A friend tried to blow it up with air thing & no luck . Some guys came out to help me try to change tbe tire & thats when he descovered that the coul snapped in two different places & went through my tire completely . So my kia has been parked ever since that day . I dont know what to do about this safety issue im having . Please help me out here.

Today 9/15/2018 approx. 3pm I had the most frightening nerve wrecking experience with my kia Rondo 2008. I was pulling into a parking space and my foot was on the brake slowing down going into the parking space all of a sudden my car accelerated jumped the median missing the car on my left and missing the car on my right knocked some shrubs before it barely missed hitting the tree. There was a thick branch stuck in the back wheel, driver side and damage to the front panel under the car. Thanking god no one was walking by or moving cars. I called kia and have an appointment to get it there for the technician to inspect it. This is really really frightening and dangerous. I am scared to drive this car until it is fully checked. Kia this is my life .

While driving in the rain, our kia Rondo decides to act like it stalls out putting all the dash lights on and loosing control over the steering. Serpentine belt screeches and all comes back like nothing happened. This condition only happens in the rain. We replaced the serpentine belt and it was ok for a full year and now its back again. Local repair shop replaced the belt. Exactly one year later the local repair shop cannot reenact the problem. They literally doused the belt with water to test the steering loss. Kia customer service cannot find any common issues with the vehicle. Very dangerous as the car does this right after hitting a small puddle.

I was driving on the freeway going 70mph when I heard a loud pop and out of no where my sunroof had flown off and took the sliding door with it. There was a car behind me but luckily far enough back to swerve out of the way just in time. I checked to see what may have caused it and I saw that, what I am assuming is the glue holding it on to the sunroof mechanism, was somewhat rusted. I don't know a lot about cars but I know that after only 8 years and mild use, a sunroof should not fly off with no cause. It ripped off cleanly and left no shards.

I was pulling into driveway when I started to back up to straighten myself up so that I could pull straight up into the driveway. And when I took my foot off the pedal, the pedal was stuck causing me to accelerate at about 60mph. My car went over a tree stump resulting in me crashing into the neighbors house. While this was happening, the brakes would not properly work.

Both rear door handles part broke and had no way of getting in or out. It's the part inside the door.

Fuel pan rusted out. Valvoline wold not service the car until the oil pan was replaced.

Every time I went through a puddle, the parking brake/brake fluid light and the charging system warning light would come on. It also lost power steering while this happened. It lasted few moments. This happened with every puddle and even on the freeway when water splashed underneath!!.

Kia; there is a strong concern about the door latch release inside the doors that is made of plastic and I think could be changed to a pull system to open the doors, I have 2 of them that have not worked since last July 2012 and I had one that the child lock was on and you could not open the door from either side and if the person had to get out because of a fire or flooding you could not get out. I now have to roll down the window to open the door or reach through the front doors to open them. I think the heat is the problem when the sun bakes the car door and if some one tries to open the locked door it twists the release inside the door and this is a safety issue, this has happened to both of the rear passenger doors. They are still not fixed because I don't have a book on the vehicle because they don't sell them and can't afford to take it in.
