The gas is being sucked down so fast that I'm only getting 6 miles to a half a tank of gas. This appears to be a common problem with this car and yet kia says they are unaware of any problems related to this model or year. The mechanics have been unable to find the cause of the problem.

The contact owns a 2008 kia Rondo. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle stalled as the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact mentioned that the check engine warning indicator had been illuminated for two days prior to the failure. The contact also stated that the fuel gauge decreased to approximately a quarter of a tank. The vehicle was restarted. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic but was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 79,000.

After smelling a strong smell of gasoline in our garage, we took our kia Rondo to firestone to have it checked out. They found that a seam on the gas tank had separated and there was rust in the area that they believed was caused by road salt applied to our roads during the winters we have had the car (st. Louis). We took the vehicle to kia and they have refused to cover the replacement of the gas tank, which is only 6 years old. This gas tank is metal and is defective and should be recalled on all 2008 kia Rondos.

Went to get rear tires put on my car and the mechanic noticed the fuel tank was leaking above the support on the drivers side. To replace the fuel tank is over 900 dollars, according to the dealer. I know this is a problem in the same area for Rondos because a kia mechanic told me that he just had one in that had a leak in the same exact area. Have not had it fixed yet due to the expense, even though its a safety risk.
