Equipment Problems of Kia Motor Rondo

I am reporting premature sub frame corrosion. The corroded area would cause a safety hazard if the corroded part of the frame broke all the way off as a result of hitting a large bump or perhaps a big pothole. Fortunately I discovered the problem when I was getting the tires balanced. I will no longer drive the vehicle until it is repaired safely.

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 .

My engine caught on fire . . . The fire was started near or around the fuel rail/ or injectors. I researched kia recalls and other years and other models of kia's were part of a similar risk. I feel that this was a huge safety risk. . . . Luckily my car engine caught fire very close to my home, and I was able to pull in my driveway and call the fire dept. I was injured in this event. . . . But the burn was minor. I am most concerned with kia acknowledging the huge safety risk. . . . And the loss that I and others could experience with this safety issue. My vehicle was in great shape before this engine fire.

Check engine light keeps coming on code number p2a00.

On three occasions within the past twelve months, I have completely lost power steering while driving. The wheel becomes almost unmovable (I am a strong, adult male). On one of these occasions, the weather was damp and the engine also stalled. Fortunately I was able to muscle and coast the car onto the shoulder where I was able to restart the car and drive away. On the remaining two occasions I was driving at 65 mph on the interstate when the power steering ceased to work. Terrifying and deadly. Latest event was may 9, 2018.

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.

Complaint: I've had my car a little under 2 years, and I continuously have a problem with the brakes and steering. I've gotten my brakes fixed at least 4-5 times since I had the vehicle. It does not drive or brake correctly when cold but mostly when it's raining or wet outside. I don't know what to do about this issue. I'm afraid of my own vehicle when driving in rain, puddles, etc. Because it doesn't stop with urgency or stay in control when I go over even small puddles. ( I don't have an exact date, I just know it's happened multipleeee times while driving).

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.

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.

Sometimes, within the first few minutes of driving for the day, regardless of whether I'm driving 10 mph or 35 mph, the car will jolt backwards and lose all power, as though being turned off, caught from the rear, and then let go. It resumes forward but with much less power. More often, the car will simply not start. There is no clicking, no noise, no sputtering, nothing. The last time I noticed that all electronics. . . Clock, odometer, etc. . . Goes out, like there is no electrical power to be had. It will start eventually, but there seems to be no logic to timing. I've had the car inspected at one nationally known auto repair shop and at a kia dealership service center. Neither place gave me any reason for the incidents I have described. Internet research shows that both issues are a common problem with the kia make, and there doesn't seem to be a consensus on what the problem really is. Both issues have been happening repeatedly for the past 2 months.

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!!.

I like my kia Rondo. I have had respect for kia and have recommended kia. No longer do I have respect for kia. They have lost a customer. Kia did a recall back in 2009. I had the recall done on my car. Now I am having the same problem again. Kia will not fix the switch I need replaced. They told me they did it once and they are done. If I don't have an extended warranty, I have to pay for it out of my pocket. So wrong. They gave me 2 bad parts and now they don't care. Another car maker that I will not buy from. If the first time it's a safety issue that quote “the malfunction of the stop lamp switch may put you at risk of a crash. ”, why isn't it a safety issue the second time or when the problem persists?.

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.
