Calipers lock up, even going 10 mph. This is after 1 month of replacing part of the brake line and the caliper. The brake system sensor seems to be faulty as the car never tells you that you have an issue.

Front passenger side brake system catches and the entire car shakes once you have gotten to 75 mph. No code appears, and it isn’t breaks, line, or caliper. It seems to be a faulty abs module.

Vehicle basically activates traction control system while going 70 to 85 on highway. Basically feels like you hit a decent sized bump. Then the car activates downhill brake control which limits the rpms of the vehicle. The tcs and dbc lights remain on requiring you to pull over. Once the engine is restart the lights disappear for the time being until is occurs on the highway again. Happened 4 times in one day. Didn't happen when the car shop drove it. . . About to go to the dealership. . . Who probably knows less.

Recently I had a car accident , my car breaks failed to stop when I was driving, my kia was giving me alerts with tires presures, needs a lt s ide brake lamp replaced in multiple times, brakes rotators been changed, smell of burnt cable insulation, can you investigate if it could be related to the recalls nks twice,.

My parking brake no longer sets, it just pumps and never locks. So I hope I don't have to park on any hills for a while. Also, my heating and air goes wonky sometimes and won't show me the actual temp or give me the option to increase or decrease in temp or mode unless I park and turn the engine off, start it again, then turn off the whole cooling or heating system and then mess with it more. My car is also often times in drive, and it'll rev up for no reason to the red line, then stall and coast to a stop. I've been lucky my kids have yet to be with me with this happening and it's been on back roads with little traffic. All these things while car is in drive/motion, except parking brake, that is obviously while in park that I've noticed.

While pulling into a parking space with my foot on the brake, my engine accelerated as if it had a mind of it's own and hit a post. I pushed hard on the brake with no response. The airbag did not deploy even with $5,500 damage to the front end.
