2007 Kia Rondo Vehicle speed control Problems

“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 went from coasting in with my foot on the brake at about 3-5 MPH, to an open throttle full forward thrust, all the time I was depressing the brake. At some point the accelerator pedal broke entirely off. …”

“On several occasions in the past month while driving, my Kia Rondo stops responding as I attempt to accelerate. It has caused me to block traffic and could cause a serious accident. I took it to a local repair shop and they were unable to diagnose the problem. At this point I am afraid to drive the car as I am afraid of causing an accident. There is another problem which has been occurring for several months- driving through a puddle or any standing water causes th car to screech and make a loud grinding noise and causes a total loss of steering. This happens every time the roads are wet. …”
