| My kia front airbags did not inflate when i rear-ended another car in front of me on friday afternoon. this is a brand new kia rondo lx. i since went to the chiropractor and had x-rays run. my neck and my back are showing damage and require treatment. i think if the airbags had inflated properly, my whiplash would have been lessened. i would like you to contact me asap on cell phone 817.371.9422 or work phone 817.595.9500 re: this issue. i think kia is responsible for this car's malfunctioning airbags and for my injuries. my car is in the shop now for repair. the police report also details the lack of the car's airbag inflating on a severe impact. i am going to contact the ntsb and dot re: this issue and hope you will have a recall notice on this kia rondo issue!!! jacki behl | |||

| I purchased a brand new 2007 kia rondo on nov.13,2006. before the car had 20,000 miles on it, i had to replace 2 kumho tires(original on car) because metal wires were showing through. i contacted kumho about their warranty and was told it was due to the way i drove and it was not covered. they did not see the tires and yet made this decision! now i just had 2 more tires put on the car 2 days ago. the tire i intended to replace had metal wires showing through. when my husband brought the two kumho tires home that the dealer took off-we noticed the tire that showed no visible wear on the outside had a large pile of rubber fragments inside. upon further investigation we noticed that the tire was worn on the inside and that metal wires were showing through. i will be contacting the manufacturer tomorrow morning but expect a run around like last time. according to the tire dealer who changed out my tires-kumho tires are cheap, crappy tires. *tr | |||
