Description of the problem	My brake peddle began to stick. I would have to tap on the brake peddle to get it to unstick. I took my car to the kia dealer near me. They told me it could be due the the brake stopper recall. They wanted to do a diagnostic test then. Which i could not afford at that time. The problem got worse. The brakes actually started engaging on their own. One time i was on the hwy and had to pull over and tap on my brakes to get them to unengage . I took my car back tp the dealer had them do the diagnostics. They told me my master cylinder needed to be replaced and brakes front and rear needed to be replaced. So i called kia corporate afyer reading the diagnostics report. I was hung up on twice! I then took my car to another place and had them do their own diagnostics. I had to come out of pocket to replace a repair the entire abs system on my car. It was due to a defect inside the master cylinder. The maater cylinder was coming apart from the inside. The peices were clogging my brake lines. Yet kia only dyood behind a warrenty not the product . I have and live on a limited income due to my physical disabilities. I bought this car in good faith that kia was a good and loyal consumer. I am still stuggling to pay for the repairs. My neighbors kept knocking o. My door one morning to tell me my lights on my car were on. I went out to check and it was in fact my brake lights. I had to tap on my brake peddle to get them to turn off. It ran my battery down. I had to call my maintenance manager for a jump start. Kia even had to nerve to charge me for a loaner car to drive while they conducted the diagnostics. I do have all reports and paper work and receipts. I was so proud of my new car. Now i am financially strapped due to this major defect that was in my 2013 master cylinder. This would happen on city streets,the hwy and parked, turned off with no one in the car.dtjb
