2013 KIA SOUL Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	992509
Internal NHTSA #	10523056
Manufacurer	Kia Motors Corporation
Brand	KIA
Model	SOUL
Model Year	2013
File date	03/07/13
Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Brand new car purchased 04/06/13 and has 2900 miles and brakes squeak. Brakes have been squeaking since may but unable to leave it due to long periods of waiting for car. Was told by service manager that brakes are glazed and its common and happens and they will deglaze but it will keep happening because its just the brakes. I have owned and driven many cars and never had this problem prior to this vehicle and the van i have that is also manufactured by the same parent company and had the same problems. I was told that it glazed because my van was heavy but this new car is very small and light. A customer in the waiting area said he has never heard of glazing and worked on cars for 30 years. I believe that these cars made from hyundai/kia are made with cheap parts that have to be replaced often and that's how the make up for cheaply sold cars. I need help figuring out how to fix this problem.
