July 30,2015 hello, this E-mail is to report that both front coil springs were found cracked on my 2007 Kia Rondo. Recently, I was informed that both front coil springs are cracked on my car. I called Kia and a local dealer. The dealer told me this problem is caused by normal wear. The car has 100,000 miles. It has never been in an accident, towed a trailer, nor carried excessive loads. Every spring, I hose under the car. I"M reporting this problem because I believe this is a serious flaw in the cars" suspension. I believe this poses a serious safety threat to drivers from tires and brakes being compromised.
