A few months ago my rear brakes suddenly started making noise. I maintain my vehicles very well so I was surprised it happened so suddenly. When I took it in they told me the calipers had slipped and my brakes and rotors needed replacing. I noticed a leak in my garage as well. Never received a recall or warning notice from kia. When I entered my VIN my vehicle doesn't fall under the recall even though that's exactly what happened to my vehicle. I didn't even realize this until I was looking for a recall 9n a different issue.

My rear caliper has failed shortly after replacing all 4 rotars, and brake pads. Now I am facing a rather expensive bill that I cannot afford on a limitted income as I am disabled. I am also lucky that this malfunction did not cause me to crash the vehicle. I noticed my gas mileage had significantly gone down, and the rear or the vehicle was dragging, and I also heard what sounded like something dragging on the ground und erderneath the vehicle. That's when I noticed a groove being dug into my rotar by the brake pads locked in the on position.

We have replaced the brakes several times and the calipers as well. Now we are having issues again with them. We see that there has been a recall for this issue. This happened in 2017, 2018, and now again in 2019. Two out of four of our doors will not open from the outside, we see there is also a recall for this issue. Please advise us how we go about getting these recalls for our vehicle as we are tired of putting out money when we shouldn't have to repeatedly.
