| While driving on i-95 in south florida i had a difficult time getting my 2010 kia soul to stop during a panic stop situation. i am over 210 lbs. and had to put every ounce of strength i have to get the car to stop. i am 63 and have been driving since 15 and never had a car react like this kia. it has 4-wheel disc brakes. if debbie was driving we would have ended up on the rear deck of the car in front of us. debbie is small and would not been able to push as hard as i did. i took the car to the dealer and they could not find anything wrong. i would like to make you aware of this problem (braking issues) because i certainly need a car which will stop on command. i talked to a young girl here in nashua who owns a 2011 kia and she told me she thought there was something wrong with her brakes also. it is very scary when a car won't stop like it should. thank you for listening to my complaint. | |||
