NHTSA Complaint #10307267 — 2005 KIA SEDONA

I HAVE A 2005 KIA SEDONA EX AND THE BRAKES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A LITTLE WEAK FOR THE VEHICLE BUT AFTER HAVING BRAKE ISSUES WITH THE ROTORS GLAZING (BECOMING TO HOT) AND HAVING TO REPLACE PADS WAY TO OFTEN ABOUT EVERY 6-8 THOUSAND MILES I DECIDED TO GO ONLINE AND LOOK UP ISSUES AND IT SEEMS THAT MODEL YEAR HAS HAD SEVERE BRAKE ISSUES THAT KIA KNOWS ABOUT AND SAYS THEY ARE WORKING ON AN UPGRADE THAT THE OWNER CAN PURCHASE BUT YET NONE HAVE BEEN RELEASED TO DATE. MULTIPLE OWNERS COMPLAINING OF EXACT SAME ISSUES REGARDING THE BRAKING SYSTEM BEING WAY TO SMALL FOR THE VEHICLE WEIGHT AND I THOUGHT THIS NEEDED TO BE AT LEAST BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION. KIA'S FIX IS TO REPLACE ROTORS AND PADS BUT THE VEHICLES HAVE THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS WITHIN SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.. THIS COULD AND ALMOST HAS CAUSED ME TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT. LOVE THE VAN HATE THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND AM CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING THE USE OF AFTERMARKET DRILLED AND SLOTTED BRAKE ROTORS TO REDUCE HEATING ISSUES.. I AM 37 YR OLD WITH A WIFE AND 7 YEAR OLD SON AND I DON'T DRIVE MY VAN HARD BUT WHEN I NEED IT TO STOP I EXPECT IT TO STOP... *TW
