Description of the problem | Vehicle stopped engine running brake pedal goes to floorboard. Dealer states this happens and demonstrated 3 similar vehicles brake pedal goes to floor. My experience and training indicates this condition is unsafe and master or wheel cylinder or disk brake piston may be leaking. Another area can be master cylinder internally leaking or abs internally leaking. I called kia corporate customer service and after listening to my concern he said he has no technical support to address my concern and to go back to dealer. However, i had earlier gone to dealer for a brake inspection |
