| Component | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Brakes squealed at slower speeds. Brakes replaced using kia parts twice in 2 years. Eventually, braking at high speeds (over 35mph & on hwy) caused van to shake excessively, and steering wheel to vibrate, along with return of squealing noise at lower speeds. Kia parts used again to replace brake discs, rotors 01/09. Within one month the squealing and then shaking problems returned. Goodyear found other reports of this same problem and replaced the kia parts with an upgraded aftermarket brand of parts. No problems since! We have also had to replace tires 3 times before this latest fix. |
