NHTSA Complaint #10562806 — 2007 KIA RONDO

TWO TIMES MY ENGINE DIED WHILE DRIVING IN ICY WHETHER. THIS OCCURRED WHEN THE WHEELS WERE SPINNING, IT SOUNDED AS IF SOME SYSTEM WAS TRYING TO STOP THE SPIN. THE FIRST TIME I WAS DRIVING APPROX. 25 MILES PER HOUR ON LEVEL GROUND. THE SECOND TIME, APPROX. TWO TO FOUR WEEKS LATER ALSO IN ICY CONDITIONS ON LEVEL GROUND, INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN DRIVING IN REVERSE. THAT TIME I INTENTIONALLY APPLIED THE GAS HARD TO TEST TRY TO GET THE TIRES TO SPIN, AND THE CAR DIED WITHIN ONE SECOND OF LEAVING PARK. I ANTICIPATE THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND HOPE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN DURING RUSH HOUR WHEN I FEEL THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY I WILL GET IN AN ACCIDENT IF I AM UNABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. *TR
