Replying to: lboogie0617 (Oct 02, 2008 12:03 pm) I have been experiencing the same issue. My battery has drained on me at least 4 times in the past week. Did you ever figure out what caused the problem?

Replying to: lboogie0617 (Oct 02, 2008 12:03 pm) I bought a used 2006 rio about 3 months ago. It has less than 50000 miles.The battery has drained on me 2 times. The first time I was at home so it wasn't a big deal. I have 24hour roadside assistance with my insurance so someone came to jump it and I drove it to the dealer. They said the battery was drained and they recharged it. I didn't know what had caused it to drain. I thought maybe door wasn't closed all the way and the interior lights were on or something so I set all of them to off so they don't come on when you open the door. It's been 2 months and I was leaving walmart and the engine died when I was trying to leave. I turned it off and restarted it. I was halfway backed into the aisle and it died again. I tried to restart and it wouldn't start.   Same problems, except my battery was totaly ruined. Today I have 5th battery in my car within one (1) year.   I really liked KIA. But after this experience, I'm not sure about their cars at all.
#9 of 11 Kia Rio problems by pstrickland Mar 07, 2009 (3:34 pm)
I have 2004 Kia Rio, it die for no reason, you can hear the starter click but nothing else all the lights come on and radio plays but thats all. I put a computer on it and it brought up the codes for a malfunctioning crankshaft sonser and gear 3 inproper ratio. Well I replace the sensor and checked the battery and starter and both passed. A freind said it was the ingintion, on the drivers side, where it goes in the barrrel, it make just shut off and the reason the it wont start is because the starter is not getting enough power. Has anyone had the same problem.
#10 of 11 Check Engine Light issue by erokzok Aug 01, 2009 (10:56 am)
I've had my Rio since it was new back in 2002. Never had any real problems until a year ago the check engine light came on. I got out the code reader and it says it's: evaporative system fuel vent valve circuit open. I've changed the charcoal canister and all the solenoid valves around the gas tank. yet i still , even after clearing the code, get the check engine light to come on. the gas cap has already been replaced too. Does anybody know of any issues with this problem? I cant smog my car until its fixed and the dealer wants too much money to diagnos the problem yet alone fix it.

Replying to: erokzok (Aug 01, 2009 10:56 am) tighten your gas cap; i have the same problem, the first time the dealership told me i needed to have the factory issued gas cap instead of the locking gas cap i purchased, the first time the check engine light went on i had to pay $150 to get the light cleared, only to find that if i tightened my gas cap to clear the light. Something to keep in mind is that some auto parts stores will check the diagnostic lights for free.
