2008 Kia Rondo Other or unknown Problems

“Today 9/15/2018 approx. 3pm I had the most frightening nerve wrecking experience with my Kia Rondo 2008. I was pulling into a parking space and my foot was on the brake slowing down going into the parking space all of a sudden my car accelerated jumped the median missing the car on my left and missing the car on my right knocked some shrubs before it barely missed hitting the tree. There was a thick branch stuck in the back wheel, driver side and damage to the front panel under the car. Thanking god no one was walking by or moving cars. …”

“My check engine light is on. When I refuel my vehicle it has difficulty restarting. Over the course of the last couple months, it has started to stall. Looking at forums I found quite a few people with the same issue but no solutions. I have had my vehicle on a diagnostic machine and it comes back with an evap code. The codes have been cleared but come right back on. I see the fuel pump has been recalled, I have had my car since the fall of 2009 and to my knowledge I haven't had this repaired, but for some reason this does not show up when I do the recall search. …”

I checked to see what may have caused it and I saw that, what I am assuming is the glue holding it on to the sunroof mechanism, was somewhat rusted. I don't know a lot about cars but I know that after only 8 years and mild use, a sunroof should not fly off with no cause. It ripped off cleanly and left no shards”

“While driving in the rain, our Kia Rondo decides to act like it stalls out putting all the dash lights on and loosing control over the steering. Serpentine belt screeches and all comes back like nothing happened. This condition only happens in the rain. We replaced the serpentine belt and it was ok for a full year and now its back again. Local repair shop replaced the belt. Exactly one year later the local repair shop cannot reenact the problem. They literally doused the belt with water to test the steering loss. Kia customer service cannot find any common issues with the vehicle. …”
