2012 Kia Sedona Brakes Problems

Your car's ABS (anti-lock brake) system is leaking, and the dealership says replacement parts aren't currently available in the US. They're quoting $2,900 for the part alone, plus labor costs, and have advised you not to drive or park the car in your garage due to the safety concern. The dealership may need to order an ABS module or seal kit and install it once parts become available.

BRAKE PEDAL SOFT, BRAKES FADE IN PANIC STOP , AT VEHICLE STOP BRAKE PEDAL FADES TO FLOOR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 KIA SEDONA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE WHILE DRIVING ON A DAILY BASIS TO NOT STEP ON THE BRAKES WHILE ALSO DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR SIMULTANEOUSLY. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW, SINCE I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR 42 YEARS AND HAVE DRIVEN DOZENS UPON DOZENS OF MAKES AND MODELS AND NEVER ONCE ENCOUNTERED AN ISSUE WHERE THE BRAKE & ACCELERATOR ARE POSITIONED IN SUCH A WAY THAT, UNLESS YOU PICK UP YOUR FOOT COMPLETELY OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND DELIBERATELY REPLACE IT TO THE FAR LEFT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL, THEN YOU FIND YOURSELF PRESSING BOTH AT ONCE CAUSING THE CAR TO LURCH FORWARD WHILE YOU ARE TRYING TO STOP. THIS IS NOT AN OCCASIONAL PROBLEM. IT OCCURS ON A NEAR DAILY BASIS, DESPITE THE FACT THAT I'M AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND DO EVERYTHING TO AVOID IT. IT'S AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DESIGN FLAW AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU. *TR
