| Description of the problem | I was driving when the brakes was pressed there was a terrible noise and no brakes. The garage said that it was the abs system. The brake fluid had leaked into the abs box and shorted it out. They wanted 3100. 00 dollars to fix it. I dont have that kind of money. Please help by getting kia to do a recall. My husband and i was ok. Please help before it happens to someone else. I am out of a vehicle because i cannot afford to get it fixed and it is a safety hazard. I tried talking to kia headquarters they were no help. |
