| Description of the problem | I have a 2008 kia rondo, for the past few months i have been having issues when i get gas. It is the 2. 7l engine and when i stop to get gas it won't start. I have to push the gas to get it to crank and then have to hold it down for approximately 2 minutes before it will stay cranked. If i do not keep the gas pressed down for that length of time it cuts off or hesitates then cuts off. I have inquired with the kia dealership about the recall for the 2. 4l engines and was informed that my car did not qualify for that recall. However, my car is having the same issues as the ones that were recalled. |
