Had just bought the car from dealership, before I took car off lot, I noticed check engine light. Returned inside and left car at dealership for 1 week and when returned, found out gas cap was cause. Apparently after it clicks to show it's locked, it must be clicked a few more times to keep check engine light from coming on. I noticed 1 week later that when parking or emergency brake is depressed, the brake does not engage. Called dealership and 1 week later adjustment was performed. I persuaded dealership to cover the cost since I had just bought the car from them 2 weeks earlier.
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. Updated 7/3/08 the consumer was involved in an accident and believed the problem with the brake may have caused the accident. The consumer stated she was not sure how the accident happened. She stated she attempted to pass a slow moving vehicle and the next thing she knew, she swerved into the median. Updated
