Stinger

I only have 16,2000 miles on this car and for a while now after driving for 10-15 minutes I get a good shaking out of the front end and steering wheel when I use the brakes. I have no problems when the car is cold (less then 10 miles). I gets to the point I am worried there is something wrong with the car. I have started using the paddle shifters to downshift to help slow the car down because I don't want to use the brakes so much. I am not sure if this is a maintenance issue that requires new brakes pads or rotors. Are there any known issues with the brakes on 2019 KIA Stingers that I need to be worried about" Am I required to replace pads or rotors at a certain mileage? Is this something I need to take to a dealer to have inspected" I don't recall when I first noticed this issue so I will add today's date and today's mileage on the car but it has been happening for many months before I started to get concerned.

I have driven 6,000 miles myself since purchasing the vehicle in March of -€˜22. The brakes have developed a wobble or shutter feeling. While driving with no braking, the vibration is obvious. When braking, the vibration feels dangerous.

Front rotors are warped from time we bought the car brand new They told us it wouldn-€™t be covered under warranty. They got so bad I replaced the front rotors and pads 5/21/22 myself which has fixed the issues. This is a problem with all the stinger models

Under braking, the entire car vibrates violently. First time I mentioned it to Kia, they resurfaced the rotors and it fixed it temporarily. It doesn-€™t feel like I am in good control of the car when it is vibrating. Yes it has been confirmed by Kia Stevens Creek in California. Yes, Kia resurfaced the rotors, fixed problem temporarily. No warning lamps This problem is widespread among other owners of this car.

Compared to the many cars I've driven, I believe I have to add more effort to brake for my Kia Stinger. It takes too long to come to a stop for the force I'm adding to the brake. It is more noticeable in the city due to constant braking. I have been dealing with it since I got the car but it was time to make a report to possibly get this issue fixed.

I bought my Kia Stinger AWD on April the 1st and when I begin to drive I first noticed the brakes felt mussy and I had to really stand on them at moderate speeds around town and just the other day(April 28) I was coming back home and I started gearing down from 30mph and signaled two turn left and with my foot on the brake pedal as the distance was closing on the car in front at the red light I pressed as hard as I could and were it not for the forward collision warning activated and abruptly stopped we would have rear-ended the vehicle in front of us!!!
