| Description of the problem | You can shift the car from park to reverse/drive without putting enough pressure on the brake peddle to actually engage the brake pads to the brake rotors. If you aren't pay attention to how hard you are pressing on the brake peddle, the call will start to move at a normal speed. I have taken the car to two kia dealerships and i have been told this is normal and safe. I feel that this is a huge safety issue. One dealership even checked other 2016 sorentos on the lot and it was the same for them as well. This happens every day. |
