Description of the problem | I have a 2006 kia sorento, the rotors keep failing. As of this date i have had the rotors replaced twice and turned once. They need to be replaced again. The last time i had them replaced was in december 2008. On average i have to have them replaced or turned every 8 - 9 months. I have reported it to the bbb and to kia. Kia refuses to put it on recall stating that the safety highway commission has to request the recall. I am not the only one who has this problem but am the only one who is truly concerned. Please help me. |
