| Description of the problem | I own a 2008 kia rondo with a 2. 7 liter 6 cyl engine. I have been having identical problems that the 2. 4 liter 4 cyl has had that caused a fuel pump recall. It stalls because it can not get sufficient gas. It does not want to start after getting gas, and it is having a gas starvation issue. I have taken the car to a mechanic, who indicated it should have been recalled with the 4 cyl. I contacted kia and they are refusing to repair the issue as a recall. At one point the car stalled while i was driving and i almost wrecked. |
