1 Brake Foundation Components problem of the 2002 Kia Motor Spectra

Failure Date: 06/17/2005

Car in front stopped short so also immediately applied brakes forcefully in vehicle. Wheels locked causing car to vereen across highway adn bounce off jersey barrier out of control and back across three lanes of traffic before hitting left side barrier and stopping. Car is a total wreck. Kia body person says accident caused wheel to lock not the other way around. Didn't think they would accept liability for causing accident and they didn't let me down on that score. Insurance company settled claim with deductible applied and MA automatically places blame to driver on one car accidents. The car malfunctioned and that's what caused the accident but I can't prove it.

Failure Date: 03/05/2002

My wife was on her way to pick up our son from school,while approaching a traffic light the vehicle would not stop. As she step on the brakes the vehicle would not stop,it seem to be accelarating. She almost rear-ended a truck, she had to run a red light,thank god the road began to go up hill and she forced the vehicle into park at which time vehicle shut down. She is 8 1/2 month pregnant, dealer cannot find anything wrong with vehicle. We do not trust vehicle any longer.
