What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 kia rondo. On eight separate occasions, while driving at any speed, the emergency brake icon illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle began to drag as if the emergency brake had been engaged. The emergency brake had to be released in order for the vehicle to correct itself. The vehicle was taken to the dealer twice with no resolution. The current mileage was 2,646 and failure mileage was 1,900.
I own a 2007 kia rondo. We bought the car new with 6 miles on it. In less than 4 years we have put brakes on this car 2 times. Our mechanic says this is a definate design flaw. The sliding mechanisms in the kia brakes collects rust inside the brake and hardens and prematurely wears the brakes. Less than 2 years ago I paid for my 1st set of brakes. Now I am replacing all 4 brakes! This will cost over $800! My front brakes are down to nothing again. This is a safety hazard!
