2007 Kia Rondo Electronic stability control Problems

“My 2007 Kia Rondo has for the fourth time since the end of june slammed on the brakes with no warning. It has been to the dealer for repair three times and it is still not safe to drive. If a truck had been behind the car when the brakes slammed on we would have been killed. I can no longer drive this car on the interstate for fear of getting killed. This is my third complaint.”

“I was driving my 2007 Kia Rondo at highway speed with the cruise control on when the engine speed revved up dramatically-as if the transmission had disengaged. Stepped on the brakes, cruise disengaged and engine slowed. Around the same time, noticed the ABS and ESC off lights would come on intermittently, stay on, then not come on. At slow speed turns after the car set for a while, the ABS would engage on dry pavement (without light) and car did not slow normally. Went to dealer, who said the issue was a brake light switch, which was replaced and vehicle taken for a test drive. …”

“On freeway car suddenly lurched,felt like the brakes went on and engine died. Took car to ny dealer who said there was a recall on a part and they installed the part. Driving back to florida the same thing happened about 800 miles later. Called my venice dealer who said that he has had about forty calls about this recall part but does not have any of the parts and said that the dealer in ny probably put in an old or used part. Called Kia service number and could not get any answers there about parts or help. Dealer is putting me first on the list for a repair. …”

“After 2 repairs at Kia dealers my Kia Rondo has again slammed on the brakes with no warning at all this is the third time this has happened and at 65 MPH it is quite an experience. I can not believe we have not been rear ended by the other cars on the road. I have explained to two Kia service departments what has happened but in both instances they installed a tail light switch and claimed that would solve the problem. I am now afraid to drive this car again. At the present time the dealer is ordering a new part but can only hope they know what they are doing this time. …”
