While backing vehicle up, heard a loud pop sound w/foot on brakes; also occurs when going forward; took to dealer & informed was front calipers & vehicle not drivable. Waiting for parts. Old calipers & brake pads replaced which caused brakes to lock up.
Brake pads failed twice, causing brakes to pulsate.
Several replacements of brake pads and rotors due to warping/vibration/shuddering, also glazed brake lining replaced due to squeaking noise when applying brakes.
Trying to make a sudden stop going 10mph, brakes didn't take, brake pedal went to the floor, hit the vehicle in front. Rotors and brakes pads were replaced afterwards, at times there's a loud noise and when the brakes are applied the noise stops and vice versa.
Brake pads replaced.
There is an excessive amount of brake dust on the tires, and the vehicle hesitates when applying the brake pedal. Dealer says vehicle wears out brake pads quickly, and it's normal.
I have had to have my brakes (rotors and pads) replaced on three separate occasions since I have had the car. I want further information on what step I can take to get my car replaced.

I have had four sets of rotors and pads put on my car. I was told by my dealership that the car brakes are manufactured defective. The only thing that kia will do is keep replacing them, the problem is not fixed permanantly. I fee unsafe in my car because I sometimes cannot stop. I am not provided with a rental car while I have to sit and wait for three hours and I do not receive any compensation for wages lost when I miss work for repairs. My car is new and I have had a lot of problems with it.
