2006 Kia Sportage Brakes Problems

Your car's ABS (anti-lock braking) system failed while driving at low speed, causing the rear right wheel and front left wheel to lock up suddenly. You lost power and had to carefully move off the main road. The ABS module will need to be replaced or repaired to restore normal braking function.

Your vehicle's automatic braking system and its electronic control unit failed during a safety inspection at around 115,000 miles. The autolocking brakes and hydraulic electronic control unit (HECU) were not working properly, causing the vehicle to fail inspection. Fixing this will likely involve diagnosing and repairing or replacing the brake control module and related hydraulic components.
