Description of the problem	I have had to have extensive work on my brakes every 8000 miles. I can set my odometer by this it is so reliable. When i bought my sorento in 2006 within the first 8000 miles the brakes went out. The dealership agreed to change the rotors for me. In 8000 miles the shoes, rotors everything was bad again. I called the dealership, they refused to fix it. I went to them and they wanted to charge an exorbitant price so i went to my usual car repair shop. They changed the brakes and as usual within 8000 miles again the brakes. I went back to my car repair shop and they said this time it was the back brakes (the first time the front). They repaired them and assured me that this should not happen again before about 30k miles. Now after 8000 miles my brakes are again bad. I have now repaired my brakes, including new rotors and cylinders at 8000, 16,000, 23,000, 27,000 and now again at 36,000. My mechanic says this is the worst he's ever seen, a vehicle with no brakes is a deadly weapon, even if unintended. Kia feels that they don't have to do anything about it and refuse to acknowledge this. I have complained repeatedly to kia, they do nothing. Their consumer portion of kia is a joke. They always say its the consumers fault. My car is 3 years, and almost 4 years old and i only have 29k miles on it so i am not a rough driver, not a long distance driver and am a 50 year old woman so its not like im out hotrodding. Please hold this company up to us standards. From now on i will only buy american made vehicles as i feel this company has no regard for rules set by my government, they are not concerned that someone may die, they don't care.
