Description of the problem	Repeated problems with this vehicle. Not small problems. Life threatening problems. What is the nhtsa doing? Why nothing, no questions, no nothing. Thousands upon thousands of consumers with no help from this public agency. Why? Brake problems, widely known. Kia refuses to admit that the brakes don't work on their vehicles, the rotors have to be changed every 3 months. This is a safety hazard. I had many near accidents thinking my brakes were fine and then bringing my car in for an oil change and the rotors are gone, the guys are saying you are lucky to be alive. Now after repeated repairs, while driving the vehicle on 6/13/14 i was almost killed when my car nearly flew out of a high rise parking garage because the crankshaft pulley bolt sheared off causing my harmonic balancer to come off. The result no brakes, no steering while in a high rise parking garage. What will it take? Someone needs to die? Why? Why no enforcement of kia? Please, please, please look into this. Why wouldn't you? If you just take 5 minutes to look on the internet, don't search really hard, just put in kia sorento or any kia and you will see thousands of reports like this. I can't believe that this agency, the agency tasked with looking into these things is not looking into this. Hundreds of people have made complaints on your own site but still nothing. Do these companies have to follow the rules of the usa or not because this is a foreign car manufacturer. Apparently not. Again, this has happened repeatedly, i am afraid of my car. My grandchildren ride in this car with me. I cannot afford another repair. In january it was a repair over 1200. 00. I was laid off in may and now another repair of at least 3000. 00 to 4000. 00. I have only 53000 miles on my car. What will it take nhtsa? Is it not worth your attention yet? How many lives before it is worthy of your attention? *js

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
