Description of the problem	After getting the brake light recall switch exchanged the next day my car started making dragging noise and so me clicking sounds in the back rear especially on the right side. I took it jeffrey kia, roseville, michigan on gratiot avenue and i was told it was the right brake pad and the left rotor and it would be $300. I told him i had a warranty, extended warranty and a tire warranty and that i do not ride my brakes and has never experience this type of problem with any car i have drove. Mike calls me back and says he can order some generic pads and fix the rotor for $169. When i went to pick it up he placed on pad on one side and one rotor on the other side and the breaking seems unsure of a complete stop. The distance seems too long. My credit is messed up due to family but i am going to have to sell this car and get a new one because this is definitely a defect. I have had this car since october 2010 and barely drive it. Either kia is a rip off or jeffrey kia is because the time before this i was told by [xxx] i needed a battery when i did not. At this service call it was not even mentioned. I believe they have rolled back the promoters on this vehicle and sold it as new and it is defective but they are making me pay for the defects. They may be creating them because this is crazy.
