| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | in 2010, 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 sounds and the rpm will rev. I had a diagnosis performed by several mechanics but unable to detect what was causing the problem. Had guesstimates as to o2 sensors, fuel pump to canisters replacement. This has gone on since 2010. Currently, the car does not turn over on the first attempt after fueling. I took car in to the dealership 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 v6 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. |
