| Description of the problem | Took my 2005 kia sedona van in for the 7 time since 12/2004 to have brakes replaced. Spoke with the service techs and they say that kia seems to have a problem with the front braking system on this vehicle, and is aware of the problem. The manufactor tells the service dept. To just keep replacing them. I am worried about the safety of my family when driving this vehicle. The dealership service department has replaced the braking system many times, but the kia motors refuses to acknowledge the problem. |
