2008 Kia Sorento Brakes Problems

“I have no rear brake light. The ESC off light comes on in the dash. I can turn on the cruise control but I can't set a speed for cruise control. I have a remote starter that has a safety switch when the brake is pressed turns the remote starter off that isn't working correctly cause there is no signal that the brake has been pressed.”

“I have had nothing but problems with my 2008 Kia, first it was the front rotors replaced three times within 3 mos. After multiple diagnoses to figure out the problem. I have had acceleration problems, I just put 800.00 in new rotors and tires and fuel/air induction services. Then the other day driving 45 MPH the vehicle started to shake, making a thud thud thud noise in the front end, felt like I had a flat tire, I pulled over, no flat tires. …”

“Was driving at a 35 MPH speed when I tried to break and instead the vehicle accelerated causing me to hit the vehicle I front of me. It was at the shop for repair for a week the breaks where checked. 2 hours after the car was out the shop I was turning when instead of breaking it accelerates again causing the veh to loose control and hit the curb. I only had the sub for 3 months and nearly cause accidents 3 times... Also on the highway the brakes won't work I have to press on the brake pedal very hard and still takes a long time to brake. The vehicle is not safe at all.”

“I have a 2008 Kia Sorento that has had the front rotors replaced three times due to warping. I am about to replace them for the fourth time at 79,000 miles. I believe that the brakes on this SUV are inadequate for this vehicle. Kia has informed me that since the SUV is out of warranty it does not feel it has any responsibility. I believe that since this rotor warping problem has happened so many times that it is a design issue with the brakes and should be covered by a recall. I hope enough consumers? Complain so that the ntsb does an investigation.”

“I was leaving la going over the grapevine on the freeway,after reaching the top I started on the down side of the grade when the brakes went out completely.traffick everywhere barely made it to safety,without hitting two autos in front of me!
