#5 of 7 computer blew up on my new 2008 Kia Rio by bustermarie Oct 31, 2008 (12:30 pm)
so i have had my car for only 2 month took in today and they found the computer has completely blown up and needs replacing. The care has been stuck in 3rd gear now till I could get it in and running rough and loud with bad gas milage. this is crazy it only has 3000 miles on it. the dealership even said they have never heard of this happening before. my concern that i have a lemon on my hands. I did love the car till this happened.

Replying to: neanderbob (Dec 17, 2007 6:18 am) This happened to my Rio 5 also. To make a long story short, we figured out it was the Keys. They security chip in the key failed and needed to be reprogrammed. We figured this out when I decided to bring my spare key to the repair shop in case they needed to replace the ignition but when they tried starting it with the spare key it started with no problem. Tried again with the first key, it wouldn't start. Then with the spare and it started.
