2007 Kia Rondo Other or unknown Problems

“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.”

“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. …”

“Door locks did not unlock with key fob or with manual attempt to unlock with key. Car was parked in a parking lot and locked, and I wanted to unlock it to get in and drive it away.”

“The contact owns a 2007 Kia Rondo. While driving 10 MPH in the rain and making a left turn, the brake pedal was difficult to depress and the steering wheel failed to turn left or right. Additionally, while making a right turn, the failure recurred. When the vehicle was turned off and restarted, it resumed normal operation; however, the traction control and ECM warning indicators were illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer and dealer were not contacted. The failure mileage was 94,000.”
