2016 Kia Soul Brakes Problems

“Our car was sold to us not knowing about a recall. It was taken to a local Kia. The car dealership says they didn’t know. It’s already had a replaced catalytic converter and didn’t fix the problem. Our engine light, ABS light and a skidding light come on and off. No one will listen to us. We don’t know what to do next.”

“I started complaining to the dealer that the front right side wheel doesn't seem right it seems to be spinning at a different speed as the other tires which wore the tires down and the the brakes to wear. The front end shakes back and forth while driving. They tightened the bolts that secure the body to the frame. But it only feels somewhat fine for a couple of weeks.

I still have the car and I continue to have the same issues. I take the car in for regular oil changes and every time, have mentioned the acceleration problem and each time they say they can't find what's wrong with it. …”

“While driving in regenerative brake mode and coming up to a stop light, I let the regenerative brake to slow the car to around 10 km/hr then applied the normal brake to slow down the rest of the way. The brake pedal did not engage whatsoever. I did not feel any resistance and the pedal went all the way to the ground. Because I couldn't stop, I hit the car in front of me - low speed so luckily no one was hurt. There were no warning lights about brake failure either before or after the incident occurred. Pedal was floored and there was no acceleration, only mild deceleration (I.e. …”
