Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD THE BRAKE ROTORS REPALCED OR RESURFACED 4 TIMES NOW. VEHICLE HAS RECURRING PROBLEM OF BRAKE PULSATION DUE TO WARPED ROTORS. ORIGINALLY I WAS TOLD THE ROTORS WERE DEFECTIVE AND KIA WAS REPLACING ALL ROTORS. NOW AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR I AM TOLD THIS IS NOT A DEFECT BUT "NORMAL WEAR". I BELIEVE THE FRONT BRAKING SYSTEM IS SUB-STANDARD AND IS PRONE TO OVERHEATING WHICH CAUSES WARPING.*AK
