Description of the problem	My 2011 kia sorento ex v6 awd was brought in to a kia dealer 15 days ago to check on the brakes, which seemed to have a longer than normal "play" before engaging. The mechanic at the dealership agreed and replaced the master cylinder. After i brought it home, the next morning the pedal almost went all the way to the floor! It seemed to have air in the system after i pumped the pedal. I brought it back to the dealer where they again replaced the master cylinder. (i personally think they put in a rebuild kit the first time). The mechanic tried mechanical and manual methods to get all the air out with no success. They again replaced the master cylinder, again with no success. They then replaced the abs module, again it did not solve the problem. They are sending out a kia engineer to see if problem can be resolved. He will arrive monday nov 8! The suv is still at the dealership, which will be a total of 21 days! Have there been any other incidents of this problem?
