SEAT BELTS
IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR MY REAR SEAT BELT BROKE IN HALF. THIS IS THE SEAT THAT MY GRANDSON'S CAR SEAT HAD BEEN GOING. LUCKILY FOR ME AND MY FAMILY HE WAS NOT IN THE CAR AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR INTO DORSCHEL WHERE I WAS VERBALLY TOLD THAT THE BELT WAS FAULTY AND IT WAS REPLACED. ON APRIL 21, 2011 I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE SAME BELT HAD BROKEN AGAIN. ONE MONTH LATER ON MAY 25TH, I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP FOR THE DRIVER SEATBELT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT WORKING. AGAIN, I WAS TOLD IT WAS FAULTY AND THEY REPLACED IT. I CONTACTED KIA WHO TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE KIA OWNERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THIS IS RECOGNIZED AS THE SERIOUS ISSUE THAT IT TRULY IS? *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
AC COMPRESSOR FAILURE. I SEE SEVERAL FORUM ONLINE OF CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. COMPRESSOR WILL RUN FINE FOR 15 MINUTES 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 ASTHMA. *TR

WHEELS, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
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. *TR

VISIBILITY:REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER
MY KIA RONDO'S WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE FAILED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 8 MONTHS. THEY ALWAYS FAIL DURING HEAVY RAIN AND WHEN THEY ARE ON A HIGH SPEED. I HAVE REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTORS. AT THIS POINT THE TURNING FUNCTION OF THE WIPERS IS VISIBLE AT THE BALL AND SOCKET JOINT, BUT THIS DOES NOT TRANSLATE TO THE WIPERS THEMSELVES. THEY SEEM TO HAVE DIFFICULTY LIFTING, IF THEY WILL DO SO AT ALL. AND IF THEY COME BACK DOWN IT IS WITH A LOUD THUD. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I WAS TURNING LEFT INTO A WALMART PARKING LANE AND STRUCK A YELLOW LANE MARKER THAT DID NOT HAVE A LANE SIGN. THIS SIGN HAD BEEN BROKEN OFF 3 DAYS PRIOR TO MY ACCIDENT ON 11-25-2010. WALMART DID NOT REPLACE THE LANE MARKER PROPERLY. THE IMPACT WAS DRIVER/CORNER DESTROYING THE LIGHT AND PUSHING THE PANEL INTO THE DRIVER DOOR; SUBSEQUENTLY THE DOOR WILL NOT PROPERLY OPEN. THE AIRBAG LAMP DID LIGHT UP, BUT THE AIRBAG ITSELF DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, SEAT BELTS
ON 2/5/09 I WAS THE DRIVER OF A 2007 KIA RONDO THAT I PURCHASED NEW AT THE END OF 2007. I SLID ON ICE AND HIT A TREE HEAD ON AT AN ESTIMATED SPEED OF 30 MPH. MY 14 YEAR OLD SON WAS THE PASSENGER. I AUTOMATICALLY EXTENDED MY RIGHT ARM OVER MY SON AND THE NEXT THING I KNEW WAS THAT I WAS LAYING BACK IN MY SEAT CRYING THAT I HAD BROKE MY ARM. I BELIEVE THAT I WAS KNOCKED OUT FOR A FEW SECONDS AS I DO NOT RECALL HITTING THE WINDSHIELD. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT I WAS THROWN FROM MY SEAT INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD. I HAD A KNOT ON MY HEAD AND THE NEXT DAY DURING THE DAY LIGHT, IT WAS CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD WAS HIT AS IT WAS SHATTERED. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL AND MY VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. I ALSO DID NOT HAVE ANY SEATBELT MARKS AND BOTH MY SON AND I WAS WEARING A SEATBELTS. MY SON SUSTAINED A CUT TO HIS CHIN THAT REQUIRED 9 STITCHES, I SUSTAINED A NECK INJURY THAT I AM STILL HAVING TREATMENT FOR AND I HAD A SEVERELY TORN ROTARY CUFF THAT REQUIRED SURGERY AND SOME METAL PIECES TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER. AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THIS ACCIDENT, I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO WORK, I HAVE HAD TO FILE FOR DISABILITY, AM REQUIRED TO TAKE EXTENSIVE PAIN MEDICATIONS, HAVE LOST MY HOME, MY CAR AND MOST IMPORTANTLY MY ABILITY TO WORK AND SUPPORT MY FAMILY. *TR

YESTERDAY, MY "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THEN, I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED ACCELERATING. I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SEVERAL TIMES, TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR TO ACCELERATE. AFTER SEVERAL STOPS, THE CAR JUST WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND I HAD TO PRATICALLY DRIFT HOME. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FOLLOWING APPLIES TO MY 2007 KIA RONDO WITH APPROX 36,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS THE V6 ENGINE. MY PROBLEM IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD IN THAT THE ENGINE IDLE DOES NOT COME DOWN AS THE CAR STOPS AND IN SOME CASES IT RACES UP. UNFORTUNATELY IT IS VERY SPORADIC AND IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES WITH THEM UNABLE TO DUPLICATE IT. THIS MORNING 4/18/2010 I CAME TO A STOP AND THE TACH SAID 1500 AND WAS ACTUALLY GOING UP. I TOOK IT OUT OF DRIVE AND IT IMMEDIATELY WENT UP TO 4000+ RPM (I WAS NOT EVEN NEAR THE ACCELERATOR). IT ONLY SEEMS TO DO THIS ON COOLER MORNINGS WHEN IT IS ALMOST, BUT NOT TOTALLY, WARMED UP (4-8 MILES) BUT ONCE AGAIN VERY SPORADIC. IT WILL GO WEEKS WITHOUT HAPPENING. THE DEALER SUGGESTED POSSIBLE CARBON BUILDUP ON THE THROTTLE BODY SO I RAN TWO BOTTLES OF FUEL INJECTION CLEANER THOUGH IT. DID NOT DO IT WHILE THIS WAS DONE THEN HAPPENED AGAIN. THE REALLY BAD PART IS THERE ARE NO CODES BEING GIVEN. MY SUSPICION IS THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR OR SPEED SENSOR BUT THE DEALER SAID THEY CHECKED THEM AND THEY WERE WITHIN SPEC. THIS LEAVES BASIC PROGRAM FAULTS. I HAVE DOCUMENTED MY 3 TRIPS TO THE DEALER IN CASE OF LATER POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS AND LITIGATION. I DON'T KNOW IF OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS BUT IN TRAFFIC OR BEING DRIVEN BY SOMEONE WITHOUT QUICK REFLEXES, IT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. IT SEEMS THE ONLY ANSWER THE DEALER HAS IS TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE WITH THEM FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM (ALREADY LEFT IT THERE OVERNIGHT ONCE WITH NO HELP).OR PAY FOR A SPECIAL CLEANING OF THE THROTTLE BODY BOTH OF WHICH ARE UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A WARRANTY ITEM AND THEY SHOULD FIX IT FOR FREE OR IF IT HAS TO BE LEFT WITH THEM FOR WEEKS THEN THERE SHOULD BE A FREE LOANER. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED KIA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SO FAR THEY HAVE BEEN LESS THAN HELPFUL WITH THE FIRST RECOMMENDATION TO CALL THEM FROM THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I DID NO ONE WHO COULD MAKE A DECISION WAS THERE AND THEY HAVE NOT CALLED BACK. *TR

AIR BAGS, AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
RAN OFF THE ROAD BY A TRUCK AND WENT INTO A DITCH. NOT ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THE CAR WAS EQUIPPED WITH KNEE AIRBAGS, FRONT AIRBAGS, SIDE IMPACT AIRBAGS AND SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS. TOTALED THE CAR, WAS LIFEFLIGHTED TO VANDERBILT. THEY HAD DIFFICULTY GETTING ME OUT OF THE CAR BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THEY COULD NOT CUT THE BAR BETWEEN THE FRONT AND BACK SEATS BECAUSE IT WAS LOADED WITH UNDEPLOYED AIRBAGS. HAD A BROKEN LEG/HAND AND NECK, CHEST AND BACK INJURIES. NOTIFIED KIA TO FIND OUT WHY THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. FIRST WAS TOLD THAT "IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT I DID NOT HIT THE RIGHT SPOTS TO TRIGGER THE AIRBAGS". SENT THEM PICTURES, COPY OF PAGE IN THE OWNERS MANUAL SHOWING THAT MOST OF THE SENSORS WERE HIT AND A COPY OF THE ACCIDENT REPORT. AFTER CALLING ALMOST EVERY DAY FOR THREE WEEKS THEY TOLD ME THAT THEIR ENGINEERS HAD DETERMINED "THAT IT WAS NOT A SEVERE ENOUGH IMPACT TO DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS" DESPITE THE CAR BEING TOTALED. *TR

WHEELS
DEFECTIVE ALUMINUM FACTORY WHEELS - 2007 KIA RONDO EX. I WAS DRIVING ON A FOUR-LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY (U. S. HIGHWAY 11, SOUTHBOUND, 2 MILES NORTH OF KINSTON, NORTH CAROLINA). SPEED WAS APPROX. 55 MPH. I MOVED TO THE PASSING LANE TO OVERTAKE A TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK. I IMMEDIATELY CAME UPON SOME ROAD DEBRIS IN THE PASSING LANE AND THE TIRES ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR DROVE OVER SOME OF IT . NONE OF IT APPEARED LARGER THAN 2X4 LUMBER. THE DEBRIS, PROBABLY ITEMS THAT FELL OFF OF A CONTRACTOR'S TRUCK, BENT BOTH WHEEL RIMS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE LETTING THE AIR OUT OF THE TIRES. I TEMPORARILY LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. I GRABBED ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL TO STAY ON THE ROAD. I STEERED THE CAR TOWARD THE RIGHT LANE, AND COASTED UNTIL THE SPEED CAME DOWN BELOW 25 MPH. HAD I HIT THE BRAKES I BELIEVE THE CAR MIGHT HAVE ROLLED OVER. I PULLED OVER AND PARKED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALLED FOR HELP. *TR

SEAT BELTS
I HAVE A 2007 KIA RONDO WITH A THIRD SEAT. WHEN NOT BEING USED, A PERSON BELTED IN, THE CENTER SEAT BELT IN THE LAST ROW, CAN FALL BETWEEN THE 2 REAR SEATS. THERE ISN'T ENOUGH ROOM TO EASILY RETURN THE SEAT BELT TO THE USABLE LOCATION. WHEN THE SEATS ARE MOVED ENOUGH TO MOVE THE SEAT BELT TO A USABLE LOCATION THE PLASTIC PART OF THE BELT LATCH BREAKS AND RENDERS THE SEAT BELT UNUSABLE. THE MANUFACTURER SAID THAT IT IS THE CONSUMERS RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR THE DEFECT EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS STILL UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY. I WILL PAY TO HAVE THE SEAT BELT REPAIRED TOMORROW BUT I'M STILL CONCERNED THAT IT WILL HAPPEN WHILE I HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN USING THE SEAT. IF IT DOES THEN THEY WILL BE UNPROTECTED IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
MY 2007 KIA RONDO HAS FOR THE FOURTH TIME SINCE THE END OF JUNE SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES WITH NO WARNING. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR THREE TIMES AND IT IS STILL NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. IF A TRUCK HAD BEEN BEHIND THE CAR WHEN THE BRAKES SLAMMED ON WE WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE THIS CAR ON THE INTERSTATE FOR FEAR OF GETTING KILLED. THIS IS MY THIRD COMPLAINT. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY KIA RONDO FOR THE ESC SAFETY. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES TO HAVE THEM REPAIR IT. EVERY TIME THEY SAID THAT IT WAS FIXED AND THEY EVEN TEST DROVE IT FOR A HOUR AND THE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON FOR THEM. THEN EVERY TIME MY DAD AND MY FINANCE WOULD BRING IT TO ME, I WOULD DRIVE IT HOME FROM WORK AND THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. I THEN WENT OUT AFTER DINNER TO SEE IF IT WOULD COME ON AND IT DID. I ALSO HAD IT FOR THE WEEKEND OUT AND EVERY TIME I DROVE IT THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. EVERY TIME I WOULD SHOW MY FINANCE THE LIGHT BEING ON BECAUSE I WANTED SOMEONE ELSE TO SEE IT. THE DEALER TOOK A PART FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE AND REPLACED MINE BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY PARTS BECAUSE THEY WERE SPENT THE WRONG ONES. *TR
