Tl* the contact owns a 2012 kia sorento. while driving approximately 2 mph, the vehicle stopped abruptly when the brake pedal was depressed. the failure only occurred when driving in rainy weather conditions and snow covered roads. the dealer stated that the front driver side interior brake pad became stuck. in addition, the texture of the front rotor was smooth and shiny. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vin was unavailable. the failure mileage was unavailable.

During slowing, at low speeds, with the foot on the brakes, this vehicle makes loud noises which go away if the foot is taken off the brakes. the noise eventually stops as the vehicle comes to a stop. this kia sorento appears to stop normally, but the noise does not instill confidence, nor does the noise sound normal for a vehicle with 6,615 miles. *tr

While coming to stop at intersection or pulling into parking lot space at low speed, i could hear and feel brakes grinding to a complete stop, upon releasing the brake pedal i could hear and feel what i believe to be the calipers grinding as they release. it happens whenever i come to a stop or when i am able to drive forward upon release of the brakes. i feel unsafe driving this vehicle. this noise occurred just after 10000 miles. before this quiet and smooth braking. on january 11, 2012 i took the vehicle in and service desk person said the service manager would like to test drive the vehicle. i observed the service manager drive out of lot and after about 20 minutes service manager walked back in and talk with service desk person. after three hours of waiting the service desk person informed me the service manager did hear the noise from the brakes and apparently they were in contact with kia corp. thru e-mail concerning this matter to see if the manufacturer will cover the repairs. after a while i was informed by the service desk that kia has been receiving numerous complaints concerning grinding noise from brakes, and that they are working on the problem, and i would have to wait until then for a solution, also per kia so said the desk person (vehicle is safe to drive until a solution can be found.) i have lost confidence in this vehicle and feel one day it may not stop at all. i respectfully request a quick review of this matter and hopefully a quick solution. *tr
