On friday, april 20, 2018, on a major highway, traffic began to slow and as I applied my brakes, they felt as though they traveled to the floor, and even though I had plenty of space to stop, I was unable to and was in an accident. The car was repaired by a non-kia dealer via my insurance.

This is the second time I have had to have the traction and ABS sensors go bad. The first time it was fixed under warranty, this time I'm being told I have to pay $400 for a $37 part. This is a safety issue as I do not have ABS and traction control at all.

When attempting to brake, the brake's will release and then grab onto the rotors again. Also have a soft petal and hissing when pressing on the brake. The dealership where purchased states that nothing is wrong; however, I am experiencing grinding, my car shaking at random times when attempting to stop, or randomly failure to stop, resulting in having to go off the road.
