Hello all,
I have a new Kia Rio which over the last 3 months has stopped dead in heavy city traffic on five occasions, due to the fuel pump fuse blowing. The local service agents seem stumped- the first couple of times time they simply replaced the fuse, then they thought it was a short in electrical leads under the clutch. The latest idea is that it is the computer. Has anyone else experienced anything like this- I am getting fed up with calling out the recovery van!

My 2001 Kia Rio just stopped dead during a left hand turn - mechanic says my timing belt broke and smashed all the pistons basically destroying the engine. This car had fuse replaced two months ago. This is very, very dangerous and should be reported to Transport Canada or whoever runs your government vehicle safety program.
