| Service Brakes problems |
While driving the vehicle and applying the brakes the vehicle shifted to one side of the road. There was an accident 03/2024 after having the brake control arm serviced. The braking system failed. There was a recall on the front control arm 2016. The vehicle was totaled and was salvaged due to damages to the vehicle. The brake inspection failed. Today the braking system has has no control even after the master cylinder was repaired. The vehicle is currently sitting at a service station without being serviced for at least 2 months. Kia needs to be responsible and refund for the arm control repair and other related part failures. The electrical system does not work for the windshield wipers or the air conditioner or sliding doors.
When the abs brakes activate while going at a very slow speed during snowy or rainy weather the steering wheel locks and the dashboard lights come on. I have no control of the car. It's very scary. Very much a safety issue. I took it to the shop, but they didn't come up with anything. It has happened about 5 times over the past 2 years. The mileage varies. The most recent incident the vehicle had 210,000 miles.
It did,nt pass the tlc new york inspection no incident.
Brake pedal soft, brakes fade in panic stop , at vehicle stop brake pedal fades to floor.
This vehicle has 65,000 miles on it and yesterday I did the third break job this van has had. No vehicle should go through breaks as fast as this one does. On top of that, my airbag light has been on since 20,000 miles and all kia dealers I have brought this van to refuses to look into it. Now that I am no longer under warranty with kia I plan on bringing it to another shop.
The contact owns a 2012 kia Sedona. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 5 mph and making a right turn, the brake pedal was depressed and failed to respond causing the vehicle to accelerate independently. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 25,000.
It is almost impossible while driving on a daily basis to not step on the brakes while also depressing the accelerator simultaneously. I believe this is a design flaw, since I've been driving for 42 years and have driven dozens upon dozens of makes and models and never once encountered an issue where the brake & accelerator are positioned in such a way that, unless you pick up your foot completely off the accelerator and deliberately replace it to the far left of the brake pedal, then you find yourself pressing both at once causing the car to lurch forward while you are trying to stop. This is not an occasional problem. It occurs on a near daily basis, despite the fact that I'm aware of the problem and do everything to avoid it. It's an extremely dangerous design flaw and needs to be addressed as quickly as possible. Thank you.
