A loud thump was heard from the front left tire brake while coming to a complete stop. The contact brought the vehicle to the dealer, and was told that both front brakes were glazed and the rotors were corroded. The dealer applied an anti glaze chemical and turned the rotors. The current mileage was 19,076 ,and failure mileage was 14,944. *ak the consumer stated that the dealer informed him that kia is aware of the problem and results from the fact that the rotor is under size for the weight of the sedona.
