Three problems related to brake disc pads have been reported for the 1998 Kia Motor Sportage. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Anti-lock brake system rotors and pads have been replaced three times since date of purchase. Rotors and pads last from ten to twelve thousand miles. Please provide further details.
Brake pads and rotors replaced, causing noise.
We have replaced the brake pads several times since owning this vehicle for the last almost two years, approximately 6 times to replace with the most recent time being only 5000 miles ago, the dealer now wants us to pay for the replacement and the warranty is still in existance with the vehicle (almost 30,000 miles). I want to know if any - what is being done about this problem there is also excessive brake pad wear dust on the outside of the front hub caps. Please contact me - as this is getting quite expensive to replace every 5,000 miles.
