Kia Rondo 2008 Vehicle Speed Control Review #10370863

KIA RONDO 2008 car safety problem was reported on Dec 12, 2010.KIA RONDO 2008, manufactured by KIA MOTORS CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . there were things leading up to the incident that i was not aware of as a problem as the esc light would go on, but then it would turn off and i was always told that i don't have a problem with anything unless the light goes on and stays on, so i never had it checked. the other night as i was driving down the road i had my 2008 kia rondo in cruise control. when i needed to break, the car slowed down a little, but the automatic cruise control continued to accelerate my car. the practice of applying the break did not turn off the cruise control and i continued to accelerate. only when i hit the cancel button on the column did the cruise control turn off. when i got to the location i needed to go to i could only get the car to go from drive into neutral. it would not go back into park and let me take the keys out of the car. when i went back home this stopped and everything went back to normal. upon calling the dealership with what was going on, they asked if i ever had the break switch replaced. i said no. they said it sounded like that was what it was, but if it were under recall, i would have gotten a notice. they said they would take care of it anyway. i looked and saw that the 2007 rondo had a recall with the exact same thing my car has been experiencing. when i got to the dealership i was told that because i now had 69,000 miles on my car, that they would have to charge me to replace the switch. but, had i gone in before 60,000 they are just replacing them automatically in all rondo vehicles. it feels to me that they are trying to get around another recall, but trying to make money on those of us who drive long distances at work and are now having problems. *tr.Mileage was 69000 miles.

KIA RONDO 2008 car safety problem was reported on May 11, 2009.KIA RONDO 2008, manufactured by KIA MOTORS CORPORATION had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE . accelerator is "drive by wire". the engine experiences hesitation, when taking off from a stop, about 50% of the time, when the ac is on. sometimes the vehicle begins to accelerate, then the engine drops to idle speed, even when you depress the pedal to the floor. this can cause you to be struck by oncoming traffic, when you are entering a highway or roadway. usually the vehicle will then take off unexpectedly screeching the tires, when this occurs. but, sometimes, when it does begin to accelerate after one of these occurrences, it will very slowly begin to pick up speed, as if it is starving for gas. this could also put you in danger of being struck from oncoming traffic. these occurrences are worse, when the air conditioning is on. sometimes, when you are taking off from a stop and putting very little pressure on the accelerator pedal, the car takes off abruptly, squealing the tires as if you had depressed the pedal to the floor suddenly. when the pavement is wet, this will cause the tires to spin and then the engine will drop to an idle, leaving you susceptible to being struck from oncoming traffic. the dealer has told me there is nothing wrong with the vehicle, even after the "mechanic" rode with me and said he could feel it accelerating in steps. these occurrences of dropping to idle speed, unexpectedly, may occur only once in two months or they may occur two or three times in one week. hotter outside air temperature seems to cause the problem to worsen. *kb.Mileage was 2000 miles.
