Description of the problem | I have a 2008 kia sorento that has had the front rotors replaced three times due to warping. I am about to replace them for the fourth time at 79,000 miles. I believe that the brakes on this suv are inadequate for this vehicle. Kia has informed me that since the suv is out of warranty it does not feel it has any responsibility. I believe that since this rotor warping problem has happened so many times that it is a design issue with the brakes and should be covered by a recall. I hope enough consumers? Complain so that the ntsb does an investigation. *tt |
