WHEN GENTLY BRAKING AT HIGH SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BADLY. ALSO, WHEN BRAKING TO A STOP, THE CAR DOES NOT STOP SMOOTHLY. IT JERKS AND VIBRATES WHEN THE BRAKES ARE USED UNTIL I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE ROTERS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ONCE ALREADY. ONE WINTER MORNING, I NOTICED THAT MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE NOT WORKING. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION, I FOUND THAT THEY HAD SOMEHOW LOOSENED. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO PRECIPITATION THAT DAY. WHEN HAVING THE PROBLEM LOOKED AT BY ONE OF KIA'S SERVICE CENTERS, THE GUY THERE INDICATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS COMMON.
