“I took vehicle in to private mechanic for wheel alignment. I was told that due to manufacturing quirk that one of the alignment adjustments to the wheels can not be accomplished. The dealer was unable to help either. I was told that a tire was improperly welded on upon manufacturing and a correct/appropriate alignment would not be possible.”

NHTSA complaint #10471359, filed 2012-08, 42,000 miles“I took my 2008 Kia Rondo for the annual wv state inspection today. The service technician told me that I have a broken front passenger side coil spring. He said that this could be dangerous if the spring should pop out of it's normal position. He said that the end of the spring could rupture the tire and cause a bad accident. I didn't notice any handling or noises that alerted me to this condition, so I don't know when it might have broken. I do not see any Kia recalls for this condition. The vehicle has 112,500 miles on it.”
