1 Check Engine Light On problem of the 2008 Kia Motor Rondo

Failure Date: 10/11/2019

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?.

2 Check Engine Light On problem of the 2007 Kia Motor Rondo

Failure Date: 03/29/2015

My 2007 Rondo has been acting up, will not start directly after getting gas. My check engine light is on. Yesterday I did not get gas, however it stalled while I was driving and would not start as it does when I get gas. I fortunately was at an intersection. If it had stalled a little farther up the road I would have been rear ended as there was a car directly behind me. I have previously replaced the purge valve sylenoid as suggested, no difference. Why is the 2. 7 Rondo not recalled for this as the 2. 4 engine was?.

5 Check Engine Light On problem of the 2007 Kia Motor Rondo

Failure Date: 11/15/2012

The engine is faulty if they demand that only oem oil filters can be used otherwise engine will break and warranty will not cover it. My story: my 2007 kia Rondo: so my check engine light goes on the other day. I take it my kia dealer and they say it's code 90011 - camshaft positioning sensor error. They tell me that there is a "kia bulletin" out about non-oem oil filters causing this error and that I should only be using oem filters. So, they change my oil and put on the new oem filter. They then tell me that should fix the problem, but if light comes back on to bring it back in. I left excited the light was off, and then I am not kidding - 1. 3 miles later on the freeway home, all hell breaks loose in my engine! it threw a rod and oil spewed out everywhere. So, towed it back. They tell me how sorry they are. I tell them I still have 5k miles left in warranty. They tell me I need to show proof of all oil changes and bring them the receipts. I can only track down 9 oil changes for the last 5 years. I methodically changed the oil every 4k miles, many of them I did myself. Did I think to save the walmart receipts for oil and filters? noper. Long story short, they denied my claim for the following reasons: 1. There is a "kia bulletin" that came out recently that says I should have only been using oem kia filters and I did not. 2. I could not produce enough receipts to prove that between self oil changes and otherwise were done every 3k miles. Even if I did get the receipts, they don't sell kia oem filters at walmart or autozone, big o, etc. So I am left with $7k still owing on a car that needs a $5200 engine. God bless south korea! p. S. S. When the dealer first change my oil, they said the oil was really quite clean and could tell I take care of the engine!!.

7 Check Engine Light On problem of the 2007 Kia Motor Rondo

Failure Date: 01/11/2010

About 3 months after I purchased my kia Rondo I noticed that every time I filled the tank there was a problem. For the last 5 years I have replaced a sensor every year to turn the check engine light of due to this problem. After putting gas in my tank all hell breaks loose. The tank begins to gargle the has the car revs high n then low until it shuts off and if I can get it on again it will rev high n low again while driving until it ahuta off in middle of road while driving. I've learned how to manage it but I don't think that when a car costs you 15 grand u should ha e to deal with what I believe to be a defect in the car.

8 Check Engine Light On problem of the 2008 Kia Motor Rondo

Failure Date: 04/10/2009

I took my 2008 Rondo in to steven kia on 4/10/2009 because the check engine light was on. They still have not fixed my car and it has been in their shop for over 60 days. They say the engine has defective parts. I want to know if kia will give me a car that is not defective or return my purchase cost. If this car is defective then I want to get another car. I bought it for my daughter and I no longer trust that she will be driving a safe vehicle.
