Complaint for Kia Sedona 2005

Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC : FOUNDATION COMPONENTS : DISC : PADS

Consumer Complaint:
AT 10,616 MILES I HAD TO HAVE MY BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS FIXED DUE TO SQUEALING; THE DEALERS MECHANIC TURNED THE ROTORS AND REPLACED THE PADS. NOW AT 20934 MILES THE SAME REPAIR HAS TO BE DONE AGAIN. WHEN I QUESTIONED THE MECHANICS ABOUT THIS I WAS TOLD THEY ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 KIA SEDONA DUE TO THE BRAKES NOT BEING SUFFICIENT FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS ALSO TOLD NEVER TO TOW A TRAILER EVEN THOUGH MY VAN IS RATED TO TOW BECAUSE THE BRAKES MAY FAIL. WHEN I CONTACTED KIA COMPLAINTS THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME, AND DENIED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES ON THE 2005 SEDONA. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR MANY OTHER 2005 SEDONA OWNERS. THERE IS EVEN A DISCUSSION ABOUT IT ON WWW.EDMUNDS.COM IN THE FORUMS SECTION. I AM PLEADING WITH THE NHTSA TO INTERVENE REGARDING THIS MATTER BEFORE THERE IS A LOSS OF LIFE! *JB
