Brake Disc Pads problems of the 2008 Kia Motor Sorento

When driving the vehicle on local and highways, the brake does not get activated unless you press the brake pedal all the way down which engages the vehicle in reducing speed but this takes too long. There is no reduction of speed if you press a little or in increments on the brake pedal, the only way the vehicle brakes is you hard press your foot down on the pedal and that takes too long to make it extremely dangerous. When I need to come to a sudden stop the brakes do not engage properly with delay response and I am pressing hard all the way down on the brake pad. I have taken the vehicle to different mechanics and even replaced brake shoes and brake pads, however this problem continues with vehicle taking too long to brake and not braking properly was a problem since I bought the vehicle. I have owned several vehicles in past and am very familiar with car braking systems and the response times needed to brake. The braking system on this vehicle is faulty and is unsafe and does not meet standards to approve this vehicle for safe driving.

Bought the vehicle brand new and noticed you have to depress the brake pedal all the way down in order for the vehicle to slow down and stop. Spoke to the dealership and they said all kia Sorento models are like this, you have to press hard down on the brake pedal for vehicle to slow down and finally stop and it takes a while for it to respond. Having owned several vehicles and driving for 15 years, I knew something was wrong with the vehicle braking system but I just dealt with it accepting the answer that kia Sorento brakes were not going to be as good as other brand brakes (Honda, Toyota, Mazda). I took the vehicle in for regular maintenance and always asked the engineers if they could do something about the brakes and how long it takes to brake (braking distance). I felt unsafe driving this vehicle and ultimately sold after replace brakes and shoe pads. The passenger airbag light was also faulty when an adult would be sitting there and it was not working. There was also a check engine light that would randomly come on as well as the tpms (tire pressure monitoring system). I took it to the mechanics and kia dealership and they would just turn off the lights but couldn't explain a reason for these turning on as the vehicle tires and engine were ok. I cannot understand why the braking system was allowed to pass on this vehicle when it was not able to stop at highway speeds in a acceptable time. I hope kia issues a recall on 2008 kia Sorento lx models to replace or fix the braking issues because it is very dangerous to be driving on the road and not being able to brake properly.
