2007 Kia Rondo 4dr Wagon

182-horsepower 2.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD

230 mi Replace damaged gear shift knob. 
13020 mi Ordered two roof rail tabs. Two roof rail tabs replaced. 
67580 mi This car tends to lose four little covers from its roof. The covers conceal bolts that are inside a channel on the roof; there are four of these covers and they are only about 2 inches by 4 inches. They are plastic, but painted the colour of the car. The original set popped off one day not that long after we got the car - in the first three years, perhaps, just while driving. And about a year ago, two of the replacement set popped off. Of course they are impossible to find, so one has to go and get new ones, which - if one is fussy - have to be painted to match the car. I imagine the covers are meant to keep rain and debris out, but the channels seem able to drain since there is no water sloshing noise from the months they have been open. 
23000 mi Passenger mirror cover broke while being used. One end of cover that makes the light come on broke. A whole new visor with lighted mirror was ordered and replaced the broken mirror during the second trip. Took two days for the part to come in. Less than one hour to replace visor. 
29000 mi Second broken mirror mount on different side than first repair. Also fixed under warranty. 
52000 mi

US $125
Replacement of interior light modules. Two of the plastic modules broke and parts were obtained.
