Last April 2, 2023 Brake pedal went to floor would not stop.... veered off highway..... No brake light appeared... Brought to Kia Dealership on 04/07/2023.. They replaced master brake cylinder under warranty......
Driving on the freeway car brakes don-??t work, first oil light blinking a very loud noise like metal scraping and all the lights turned on very dangerous situation was able to pulled over until car stopped. Kia dealer knows about all the problems car still under guaranty and they ignore the problem.
I can be stoped on the road with the break pedal pushed all the way and the car still moves forward. At some points at stop lights I put my car in park so it won't move forward. This has happen a lot since I have bought the car in October of 2018.
While braking, the brake pedal is going to the floor board: Scary. Not every time--intermittently. What if the brakes fail altogether? we bought the car new and within the first 400 miles experienced the problem. It was in the shop from 3/16 to 3/21 they replaced the master cylinder and cylinder assembly. They finished it just in time for my husband's planned vacation. The vacation included driving the Kia over 2000 miles. On the way back, still over 700 miles from home and just prior to travelling through the smokey's, the brakes have the same problem. I'm typing this as I fret about whether he will make it home safely. I called the shop he is scheduled to go back in on Monday. I hope he makes it home safely to get to that appointment and that they can really correct the problem.
