THE KIA RONDO HAS A RATHER UNUSUAL FUEL TANK THAT IS ALSO A SUSPENSION PART. MY CAR HAD NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, I HAD NOT RUN OVER ANY DEBRIS, THERE WAS NO CORROSION--BUT THE FUEL TANK FAILED AT ABOUT 112,000 MILES AND AT 7 YEARS OF AGE. ***** I NOTICE THAT OTHER KIAS HAVE HAD FUEL TANK PROBLEMS AND/OR RECALLS. ***** AS A RESULT OF THIS FAILURE, FUEL WAS POURING FROM A LEAKY SEAM ON THE TANK ONTO THE GROUND, WITH RESULTING HAZARDS TO PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT. IT TOOK OVER A WEEK TO GET ANOTHER FUEL TANK; I DON'T KNOW IF THIS …

THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY STOP WORKING, IT WOULD ONLY WORK LONG ENOUGH TO GET IT MOVING THEN STALL. THIS IS A HAZARD BECAUSE IT CAN STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

I HAVE 2007 KIA RONDO. I PURCHASED THIS USED IN 2010. IN THE LAST 2 YEARS I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY FUEL PUMP 3 TIMES. IT JUST STOPS WORKING. I HAVE DEALER PARTS ON MY CAR AND KEEP TRACK OF ALL SERVICES DONE TO MY CAR. IT WILL JUST STOP PUMPING FUEL EVEN THOUGH IT SOUNDS AD IF PUMP IS COMING ON. THIS HAS TO BE A DEFECT BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP ON 3 TIMES ON ANY CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AS I'VE JUST REPLACED IT AGAIN ON JULY 18,2016.
