| Description of the problem | I, like others on this site, have taken my kia to the dealer for brakes issues. Grinding and stuttering while braking. Kia has "corrected" the problem three times, and all three times have told me it was resolved. The fourth time i was told it was no longer a "problem" that it was indicative of the brake system! My service manager at the kia dealership informed me that kia is well aware of the problem , but chooses to ignore it, and that he has had quite a few customers with the same issues. This problem has been ongoing since our purchase of the car in feb 2004. |
