Sorento

Rotors warped. I experience shuttering when stopping at any speed. I plan to take into the shop this week for repairs. My friend with a Jeep Cherokee had the exact same problem and Jeep issued a recall. Looking at the number of complaints I've found on this for Kia Sorento, I feel Kia should take the same action.
