I was driving down the freeway at 70 MPH when my check engine light illuminated and I immediately lost speed control. My speed began a quick decent to 25 MPH. The car would not pick up at all. I made it to the side of the road and turned off the car. I called my husband, he asked a bunch of questions and had me restart the car. The check engine light was still on, but the car accelerated normally so I headed toward home. It happened again. I pulled over, waited and restarted the car. My husband had me go to the auto parts store to have the code read. I have attached pictures of the printouts that include the codes and definitions. I looked up the issue and see across car repair forums that this is a widespread issue with kia vehicles. It's time for the federal safety agency to force a recall. Corporations would rather pay a wrongful death/injury fine than voluntarily make widespread repairs to mechanisms they know are faulty. Protect our interests; the safety of drivers, our loved ones, the roads and our livelihoods- if I can't get to work reliably, I won't have a job. Why should I have to pay for expensive repairs when the product is faulty across the board. Force a recall.

Purchased a 2007 kia rondo from concord honda, concord, n.c. Sept.,2014. Vehicle had only approx. 56,000 miles on it. While driving car started jerking forward and back. While coming to a stoplight or stop sign and decelerating(letting your foot off the the gas pedal) the engine would stall, then you could start the engine right back up. Now at 75,000 miles car will not keep running everytime you stop.engine light has come on,extended start and no acceleration...when you push accelerator it does not accellerate. Had engine light code checked and dealer tech diagnose is that here again it is the the fuel pump!!! Cost to replace is $650.00 plus tax...factory deffective....somebody wake up !!!!!

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.

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 solenoid as suggested, no difference. Why is the 2.7 rondo not recalled for this as the 2.4 engine was?

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!!

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 kia rondo. The contact stated that while parked the ESC and check engine light illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The mechanic stated the stop lamp switch would have to be replaced. Additionally, the brake lights fail to illuminate. The failure occurs intermittently. There was a recall under the federal safety agency campaign id number: 09v130000 (exterior lighting: brake lights: switch) that may be related to the failure. The manufacturer was made of the failure and stated the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 68,000.

Yesterday, my "check engine light came on. Then, I was on the highway and the car just stopped accelerating. I had to pull to the side of the road several times, to turn the car off and restart in order to get the car to accelerate. After several stops, the car just would not accelerate and I had to pratically drift home.

Had just bought the car from dealership, before I took car off lot, I noticed check engine light. Returned inside and left car at dealership for 1 week and when returned, found out gas cap was cause. Apparently after it clicks to show it's locked, it must be clicked a few more times to keep check engine light from coming on. I noticed 1 week later that when parking or emergency brake is depressed, the brake does not engage. Called dealership and 1 week later adjustment was performed. I persuaded dealership to cover the cost since I had just bought the car from them 2 weeks earlier.
