2 Steering Anti-theft Device problem of the 1999 Kia Motor Sephia

I had to get new brakes put on within one week of owning the car 632 miles, and I've had a cracked brake line, fuse problems which they blame on the alarm, but another women had the same exact problem with no alarm attached, I've brought my car in numerous times regarding the brakes, and I was told that it was nothing. I just brought my car in with 23580 miles on it, and I was told that I needed new brakes and rotors, but that I would have to pay for. I have felt the same kind of brake problems ever since I bought this car, even when they said that there was nothing wrong. The car drags feeling like it's never going to stop, and then the brakes pump all the time. I've called kia regarding this and the fuse problem explaining, what if this causes a fuse to blow with my brakes, headlights, etc. . . . And they did nothing. I also have buzzing coming from my engine with the ignition just switched to on. It sounds like a wiring problem, which I'm afraid could cause an electrical fire. You name it, this car has had numerous safety problems.
