We have 4 KIA Sedonas and for the most part they are ok not good not
bad.over this past week we had to make a long drive 1,690 miles one
way..No big deal.Until we found that KIA Strikes again..Front rotors
went...so we had them Cut Pads replaced and back on the road..200 miles
Later Rotors are out of Round Again...Had them cut again and off we
went.this time they lasted 900 miles.So we went to a Kia dealer only to
be told to bad so Sad their is nothing we can do After all Rotors are
only coved for 1 year.Had the rotors replaced and decided to keep them
when i got home i took them to work with me and tested them. and their
is almost no heat treating at all in them and still, KIA says oh no we
don't have any problems like we used to have.All of their Rotors where
Crap.I'm so Angry right now that we have decided to seek Lea gel Remedy
to this and i would urge any one else to do the same if KIA pulls this
sort of CRAP.ROTORS last longer then 45,000 miles and should be able to
be Cut to the Federal limits with them loosing the heat treat in them.
To add insult to all this KIA,S price for Just the ROTORS is 124.00 for
each not adding for the service to install them Takes about 14 min for
each one.AutoZone sell Raybestos New Rotors for 44.00 each! To make
matter even worse KIA SEDONA rotors are nothing more the VW rotors!

My 2005 Sedona has around 38,000 miles and the front pads are on their
last leg.  Must be a bad design.

Many Sorento owners are having the same problem. Only thing they can do is
find other after market quality rotors and use them. Seems Kia is not the
best choice for the long haul.

Not True...File a Complaint with the BB and see how fast Kia get off
their dead a.s!
also help if you have a local TV station that has a Consumer Help Line
Seems kia dose not like The Negative Publicity.
Also Attorney general office for your Local State are a good Help

All the Kia dealers will do is follow Kia policy and keep replacing your
warped rotors with more poor quality Kia rotors. Your still going to have
them keep failing and your just out your Kia and a lot of your time going
through the Kia fix it drill.
Your Kia dealer is still making money and thats all he cares about.
You can spend as much time trying to force Kia but in the long run Kia has
the upper hand.
