| Description of the problem | About 3 months after i purchased my kia rondo i noticed that every time i filled the tank there was a problem. For the last 5 years i have replaced a sensor every year to turn the check engine light of due to this problem. After putting gas in my tank all hell breaks loose. The tank begins to gargle the has the car revs high n then low until it shuts off and if i can get it on again it will rev high n low again while driving until it ahuta off in middle of road while driving. I've learned how to manage it but i don't think that when a car costs you 15 grand u should ha e to deal with what i believe to be a defect in the car. |
