2003 Kia sorrento-there has been no crash==the drive line from the rear makes a noisy thump almost every time I step on the brakes and release them--Kia service in middletown, NY service manager and Kia zone rep state that is normal operation of vehicle--I disagree and informed them I will be taking vehicle to another mechanic, I have been driving for 34 years and never encountered this situation in a vehicle.
