Description of the problem	In september 2011, check engine light came on. The vehicle would not restart after refueling. I would have to pump the gas before the car would restart and it would make a sound like it was trying to suck up gas through a straw that had a hole in it. I had a fuel injection flush and dye added but unable to detect what was causing the problem. This went on for several months. Currently, the car does not turn over on the first attempt. It takes approximately 3 attempts for the car to start. This is in addition to the car not starting after refueling. I took car in for repair and was told that i needed to replace the fuel pump assembly. As i researched the recommended repair, i learned that kia recalled other 2008 rondo's, so i called them and was told that my vehicle is a 2. 7 liter and not part of the recall campaign. I am having the same problem as the vehicles in the recall campaign and think that this matter should be further investigated.
