| I like my kia rondo. i have had respect for kia and have recommended kia. no longer do i have respect for kia. they have lost a customer. kia did a recall back in 2009. i had the recall done on my car. now i am having the same problem again. kia will not fix the switch i need replaced. they told me they did it once and they are done. if i don't have an extended warranty, i have to pay for it out of my pocket. so wrong. they gave me 2 bad parts and now they don't care. another car maker that i will not buy from. if the first time it's a safety issue that quote | |||

| I've had my vehicle since 11/2008. it was purchased used from a kia dealer. although i knew it was a used 2007, it was not revealed until 02/2012 that there was more than 1 previous owner and that the back bumper was not the original. overall the vehicle has driven well, but has 2 very specific quirks that truly need to be addressed by the manufacturer. i took the car in to the dealer regarding the 1st problem, which i see someone else on this site reported the same complaint; however, they told me that if it happens again to bring it back. it has been something that i've pretty much dealt with over the last 4 years, which is that sporadic/random starting/ignition or gas/fuel system issue in which i have to start and turn off the car several times before it will rev up and actually go/move. as another report stated, the driver had to drift home (or to a safe place to start back up again). there have been occasions where i thought it was good-to-go, but randomly lost its wind and i would have to go through the start/stop routine at least 6 more times to get moving. my 2nd issue is one of the seat belts in back does not always latch. if you pull real hard, it'll come undone, which is really scary especially w/ children. like i said, this has happened many times since i first got the car back in 2008 and the mileage was much lower then. the mileage i reported here was notated on its last oil change. | |||

| Ac compressor failure. i see several forum online of customers with the same problem. compressor will run fine for 15 minues then blows hot air. i took the car back once before directly after purchase because it made a lot of noise when the ac was running. they said it was 'normal'. it also blows a white cloud back into the car that trigger my asmha. | |||

| I own a 2007 kia rondo. we bought the car new with 6 miles on it. in less than 4 years we have put brakes on this car 2 times. our mechanic says this is a definate design flaw. the sliding mechanisms in the kia brakes collects rust inside the brake and hardens and prematurely wears the brakes. less than 2 years ago i paid for my 1st set of brakes. now i am replacing all 4 brakes! this will cost over $800! my front brakes are down to nothing again. this is a safety hazard! i have spoken to other kia owners and they have break issues too. you go to a dealer and they either deny it or say well that's a kia. i will keep the brakes for this replacement if you would be interested in viewing them. another thing no parts are available so the cost are increased. | |||
