| Description of the problem | Bought a 2005 kia amanti in athens, georgia on 02/22/2006. Test drove three different cars. When i applied the brakes the whole car would vibrate. Over the next week after i bought the car it got worse. Took it back to the dealership and they had to replace all four rotors. Was told that they bent because the car was sitting on the lot for an extended period of time. Thats a first! It seems all amantis are having the same problem. *nm |
