KIA RONDO 2007 car safety problem was reported on Apr 23, 2009.KIA RONDO 2007, manufactured by HYUNDAI-KIA AMERICA TECHNICAL CENTER INC had a problem with SEAT BELTS . to whom it may concern: i work for the midwest city fire department as the public education specialist. i am a certified car seat technician with over 2 years of experience. on thursday april 23, 2009, i was helping put a car seat in the center rear seat of her kia rondo. after a trial run, i realized the seatbelt needed to be adjusted in order to accommodate for more room for tightening. i twisted the webbed portion of the buckle approximately 3-4 times to allow for more room to tighten the belt onto the car seat. i was taught this in my car seat technician class and it is a common practice that many car seat technicians use. after buckling in the latch plate, i began tightening the seat belt onto the car seat. once force was applied, a seam of stitching on the seatbelt webbing ripped apart resulting in the two sides of the webbing no longer being attached to one another. because of the uncertainty of the center seat belt, i advised her to put the car seat on the outboard position. please contact me if you have additional questions. *tr .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Kia Rondo 2007 problem was reported in MIDWEST CITY, OK.

KIA RONDO 2007 car safety problem was reported on Jan 20, 2010.KIA RONDO 2007, manufactured by HYUNDAI-KIA AMERICA TECHNICAL CENTER INC had a problem with 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.Mileage was 44820 miles.

KIA RONDO 2007 car safety problem was reported on Apr 18, 2010.KIA RONDO 2007, manufactured by HYUNDAI-KIA AMERICA TECHNICAL CENTER INC had a problem with 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.Mileage was 36000 miles.

KIA RONDO 2007 car safety problem was reported on Jan 03, 2013.KIA RONDO 2007, manufactured by KIA MOTORS CORPORATION had a problem with STRUCTURE . 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. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 57699 miles.

KIA RONDO 2007 car safety problem was reported on Mar 24, 2013.KIA RONDO 2007, manufactured by Kia Motors Corporation had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . our engine blew up- specifically, the crankshaft broke through the 3rd cylinder. vehicle was serviced by our kia dealership in the middle of march - oil/filter change and inspection. the next week we left on vacation to florida for a cruise. vehicle was stored at a long term storage facility for the week. about 10 hours into our return road trip, we checked the oil level. car was almost 2 quarts low. we added an additional quart. there is no indication on the dash that anything is wrong with the engine or the oil. we continued on our way. another 5 hours into our trip, we are driving along with the cruise control set. the engine starts making loud knocking noises, i am unable to disengage the cruise control even though i am frantically pressing the brake. the engine is revving louder and louder until we hear a loud bang and the entire car looses power. we are past our 100,000 mile warranty with kia. however, there are two factors at play here that can be contributed to the car damage: 1.) the oil was low after only 2-3 weeks after an oil/filter change. i believe the service technician may have some culpability here by not adding enough oil or not tightening a cap, etc. it doesn't make sense that the oil was low. 2.) i recently found out that there was a recall on the brake light for our 2007 kia rondo. that it may cause an inability to disengage the cruise control. in addition to my husband, we had another couple in the car with us who can attest to my frantic actions to disengage the cruise control. my online research has shown that kia had a major problem with blown motors. they no longer make the engine for our vehicle. to fix this vehicle, it would have to be retrofitted with a current motor. this is very expensive. obviously there is a reason why those motors aren't in production anymore. why haven't they recalled these engines? *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 16500 miles.

Kia Rondo 2007 Electronic Stability Control Review #10578112

KIA RONDO 2007 car safety problem was reported on Apr 06, 2014.KIA RONDO 2007, manufactured by Kia Motors America had a problem with ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL . vehicle had the stop lamp switch replaced under nhtsa campaign 09v130000 (kia recall sc077) in june 2009. on 4/6/14 the replacement stop lamp switch failed causing the esc malfunction light to illuminate, the brake lights to fail to illuminate, and brake-transmission interlock to prevent the transmission from being either shifted from n to r or from p to r without using the shift lock release tab. i had just backed out of a parking space at one store with no problems, crossed the street, and attempted to park at another store when the transmission would not shift out of drive. had to use shift lock release to get vehicle home and to dealer on 4/7/14. dealer confirmed failure of the replacement switch, charged me $69.02 in parts and labor to replace it. since kia expanded the recall in april 2013 to cover all remaining rondo's, i feel that kia should have replaced the switch under warranty as this indicates a lingering problem with the switches across various model years and other kia and hyundai models. i also feel that nhtsa should investigate failure rates of the switches replaced under nhtsa campaign 09v130000 (kia recall sc077) because kia apparently has not made satisfactory progress in resolving this safety issue given the failure of the unit placed in my vehicle. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 79190 miles.
