I bought my 2000 kia Sephia around September of 1999. I had a new set of brakes and rotors at 2000 miles, again at 11000 miles, 20000, needless to say I have had about 6 sets of brakes and four sets of rotors. Not to mention calipers a couple of times. I tried to declare the lemon law on this piece of work but, the dealers would not listen. I did make a formal complaint prior. After all I have been thru I am so sick I have all but, given up. . . My brakes now, overheat and smell, the pedal goes all the way to the floor, if I had to actually stop without warning I wouldn't be able to . I have resorted to down shifting in sudden instances. The noise is unbearable not to mention embarrassing. I have taken it to several mechanics, and no one can seem to fix it. I don't know what else to do.
Transmission on vehicle was fixed 7 times. The transmission would slip, shift hard and at times the reverse gear would not work. Front rotors warped.
When my boy friend went to change the front brake pads on my 2000 Sephia he was told that kia didn't make pads for my car. We had to purchase new rotors because the old ones were so warped you could hardly drive the car. Kia said there was a defect in the rotors and that replacement ones were avaiable(at my expense). This ocurred in spring of 2003 then in sept 2003 my cv axles went out. My boy friend is an automotive technicianb and he is continuning his education at austin peay state university. He took my car to his professor who is a. S. E. Certified and he was told that the axles most likely went out due to the vibration of the rotors. We replaced the rotors but waited until the dealer told us that they were not covered by the warranty. Thus the damage incurred because of the rotors was Kia Motor comapnies fault. We have paid over 1200. 00 dollars on repairs in 2003 and this vechicle only has 42000 miles on it. Can you please help us?.
