1 Rear Suspension problem

Failure Date: 07/07/2006

Every 2-5 thousand miles the rotors become warped "excessive lateral run out" per kia the front tires wear excessively, and the vehicle does not stay aligned. All that kia will do is replace the front rotors and pads until the warranty is out then the consumer pays. After hours of research on line the front breaks are undersized, causing the rotors to over heat and warp. The struts seem to have a wrong type of mount system and have to be replaced. Kia is doing nothing about this they state that it is driving habits. Thousands of people have complained about this, most do not know how to follow through to get anything done. Kia's final stand is that it is my driving habits. They are not taking responsibility for the safety flaw in their engineering of the front end being in adequate for the weight of the vehicle.
