The brakes on this car are terrible! I have been in and out of the shop since this car was bought. I have had numerous pad and rotor replacements. I even got into a rear-end accident 1 1/2 years ago that I could have avoided with competent brakes. I now have to replace the drums and rear shoes because they have been working overtime to compensate for the poor front brakes. Thanks a bunch Kia! worst car I've ever driven.
The front rotors warped and the brake pads were worn causing vibration when braking, the brake pedal went to the floor due to faulty rear brake shoes. Nlm
Since shortly after purchase of vehicle consumer has had brake problems, pedal felt hard and braking distance was longer than necessary. Dealer cut front rotors, but could not remedy problem.took vehicle to dealer 6 times for this problem.
Warped rotors and cracked pads cause thr vehice to vibrate severly during normal highway speeds making the vehicle hard to control, at last service the car was not properly repaired causing it to run through a red light and into a ditch. Nlm
Premature wear of brake pads and rotors. Dealer has repaired and replaced the brakes several times. In addition heater core, alternator, starter, spark plugs, front windshield and door weather strips failed.
