Description of the problem	When decelerating, the car jerks at exactly 35 mph whether im on the highway or in the city and this happens . I have been to the dealership 3 times for this issue and they have even drove my car themselves and felt the same thing that i was feeling and all they say is that without a check engine light threr is nothing they can do about it and i just have to "live" with it. This is ridiculous and kia needs to address this issue before it causes any accidents or worse death. I spent way too much money on this car for it to be having these issues. Brakes are supposed to be a safety feature not a safety hazard.

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.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
