Description of the problem	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 is because fuel tanks just don't fail, or if all the tanks in the supply system have been spoken for. * i think maybe every rondo on the road should be recalled and the fuel tank replaced with one that will actually keep the fuel in the tank. Owners who have had to replace the fuel tank should be reimbursed. I contacted kia about this problem; they act like they don't understand why i am not happy with gasoline pouring out of the car on the ground. * i no longer use the kia dealer, as they pull b. S. Stunts such as bringing out a dirty filter and wanting $80 to replace it. I have not been there since they did this exactly one week after charging me $80 to replace a filter. *** the mechanic at dobbs, a local change that replaced by fuel tank, told me in his whole career he has only seen 3 leaky fuel tanks. He stated that they were all on kia products.
