Description of the problem	Bought a 2007 kia optima in july 2010, after 3 months had to have brakes and rotors replaced. Now only a month later the brakes are bad again. I have to take it to the shop. The back driver side brakes are grinding. The car continues to squeal. I talked to the dealership where i bought the car this is not covered under warranty. However when i bought the car they said there was more than 50% brake pads left. When i changed them the first time they were completely gone in the back on the drivers side. I do not feel that i should have to be replacing the brakes again, just one month later. Something is wrong with that. I am not happy with my car or the dealership at the moment.
