2007 Kia Rondo Fuel system Problems

“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.”

“The Kia Rondo has a rather unusual fuel tank that is also a suspension part. My car had never been in an accident, I had not run over any debris, there was no corrosion--but the fuel tank failed at about 112,000 miles and at 7 years of age. ***** I notice that other kias have had fuel tank problems and/or recalls. ***** as a result of this failure, fuel was pouring from a leaky seam on the tank onto the ground, with resulting hazards to people and the environment. …”

“I have 2007 Kia Rondo. I purchased this used in 2010. In the last 2 years I have had to replace my fuel pump 3 times. It just stops working. I have dealer parts on my car and keep track of all services done to my car. It will just stop pumping fuel even though it sounds ad if pump is coming on. This has to be a defect because I have never had to replace the fuel pump on 3 times on any car I have ever owned. This really needs to be investigated as I've just replaced it again on july 18,2016.”

“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?”

“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.”
