Consumer Description

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT I AM VERY UPSET THAT THE PROBLEMS I HAVE SEEM TO BE REPETITIVE. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN DONE 4 MAYBE 5 TIMES AND KIA WILL NO LONGER REPLACE THEM. THE POWER STEERING HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONED TWICE. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND HAVE WORKED OUT THE FIRST 3 TIMES THE BRAKES WENT BAD BUT I HAVE SINCE BEEN BACK TWICE AND HAD A POWER STEERING LEAK AND NOW MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN. AS FOR THE BRAKES EACH TIME THEY WENT BACK THERE WAS SEVERE PULSATION WHEN BREAKING AND SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKED AND WAS FIXED AND NOW LEAKED AGAIN AND IS BEING FIXED CURRENTLY.*AK
