Description of the problem	When pulling into the garage to park the car, i put my foot on the brake to slow/stop. The car exellerated violently and the car crashed into some stored items at the back wall. I instinctively stomped harder on the brake and turned the key off. This is the first time i have had this happen - thank goodness i wasn't out in traffic or pointed out my driveway, since that is a 60 foot plunge to the lake! The front bumper was damaged and requires replacement - won't know what other damage was done internally until the repair is completed. I see online that this has been an ongoing issue with other kia forte owners, but kia has not been required to do a recall "since they cannot re-create the circumstances". Please investigate further before someone dies.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
