Tl- the contact owns a 2010 kia Rondo. The contact stated that while driving on wet road, the battery, the esc and the emergency brake lights illuminated at the same time and the steering lost power. Also the vehicle occasionally shut down. The vehicle was turned off and restarted. The failure recurred several times. The dealer was not called. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 85,900. Fe.
During rain, I was driving slowly up to a stop light. The brake and battery lights started flashing on the dashboard. About a minute later, a loud screeching sound started from under the hood, and then the steering and brakes locked up for a few seconds. I regained the ability to turn the car, pulled it off the road and the screeching continued for another minute or two. It stopped when I parked my car. It is currently in the shop after I had it towed.
Locks work very sporadically with both the remote and lock button in the car. It affects all doors except the tailgate. Driver window also has difficulty going down sporadically.
During wet weather conditions the vehicle suddenly lost power steering, braking ability and the battery indicator lamp illuminated. This has happened about a dozen times. My wife, son, and daughter have experienced the same problem in the same type of weather conditions with this vehicle. The last time it happened to me while I was in the process of making a left turn, good thing I thought quick and grabbed the emergency brake or I would have had a head on collision cause of the loss of (power steering and braking ability). Everyone in the family is afraid to use the vehicle in any weather condition since they experienced this problem.
