While driving and when brakes were applied they felt funny. Vehicle would shake & take longer to stop. Took vehicle to dealership & the mechanic noticed the pads & shoes were worn & the rotors were warped. Brakes needed to be replaced. This has happened twice before.

- Greenbriar, TN, USA

Front brake pads and rotors need to be serviced every 6 months or 5,000 miles on this make and model car. I have been informed by Toyota of el cajon, Kia, and the Kia consumer relations department that this is a normal wear and tear issue with this car. I was not informed by Toyota of el cajon at the time of purchase that this was any issue, let alone a normal one. Nor was I told at the time of purchase that this maintenance parts replacement issue is not covered under retail extended warranty nor the dealer warranty. Please inform if this is acceptable, and if falls under defect or lemon law sections.

In less than 6 months, I have had my vehichle in and have brake pads and rotors replaced. I have spoken to several people who own Sephia's, all have problems with the brakes. Each time I bring it in they say there was a problem and they now came out with this new pad. I feel very unsafe driving this vehicle. I have a 3 year old son who travels everywhere with me, and having bad brakes is real scary - not to mention an imposition when I do need to bring it in to be fixed.
