If you hit the brakes while it is raining or after going thru a puddle, the brakes will lock up. if you hit the brakes suddenly, they will lock up. i have had the vehicle for eight years and the problem has been constant.
Nissan dealer told me that the radiator fluids started to leak into the transmission and now the transmission needs to be replaced and it will cost $8000 dollars to fix
I purchased my first vehicle in january 2016 at kia depot of santa ana (now kia of orange).. and i feel it is a safety hazard. one month after i purchased the vehicle, i noticed battery corrosion. about a week later i was driving and there was a loud thud that forced me off the road on a busy street and i had to call a tow truck. turns out the emergency break was completed rusted and crumbled away from the car - this was not the only thing that was rusted i discovered. the entire undercarriage of the car is totally covered and being eaten alive by rust - this car was sold to me, by kia, as a "as is" car - however, i refuse to let them hid behind that. since i have bought this car, which was sold to me for a total of $12,592.00,monthly payments of $285.85- i found out that it was actually sitting in new york around the time of hurricane katrina - legally if its from a different state, they didn't have to disclose that to me & they didn't. so far i've had to get a new battery, new brakes, emergency brake is gone, new muffler, new sway bar, ac recharged, and just recently a piece of the leaf spring under the tire completely snapped off and broke in half while driving - these guys sold me a rusty nightmare and they have since closed up shop. also the salesman padded my loan application and i just recently found out that is totally illegal - i do not want to wait until another piece of this thing falls apart on me again, i had my 7 year old niece in the car with me the first time when the emergency brake crumbled. i have left reviews and complaints - my next step is a attorney. here is a report i filed on ripoff report -http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/kia-depot-of-santa-ana/santa-ana-california-92701/kia-depot-of-santa-ana-sold-me-a-rusted-out-car-that-was-in-hurricane-sandy-santa-ana-ca-1312221
