Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY 2000 KIA SEPHIA AROUND SEPTEMBER OF 1999. I HAD A NEW SET OF BRAKES AND ROTORS AT 2000 MILES, AGAIN AT 11000 MILES, 20000, NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAVE HAD ABOUT 6 SETS OF BRAKES AND FOUR SETS OF ROTORS. NOT TO MENTION CALIPERS A COUPLE OF TIMES. I TRIED TO DECLARE THE LEMON LAW ON THIS PIECE OF WORK BUT, THE DEALERS WOULD NOT LISTEN. I DID MAKE A FORMAL COMPLAINT PRIOR. AFTER ALL I HAVE BEEN THRU I AM SO SICK I HAVE ALL BUT, GIVEN UP... MY BRAKES NOW, OVERHEAT AND SMELL, THE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, IF I HAD TO ACTUALLY STOP WITHOUT WARNING I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO . I HAVE RESORTED TO DOWN SHIFTING IN SUDDEN INSTANCES.THE NOISE IS UNBEARABLE NOT TO MENTION EMBARRASSING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL MECHANICS, AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIX IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. *AK
