| 2004 kia sedona ex. there is a hydraulic system containing a reservoir which controls rear brake force on turns and other braking maneuvers. this reservoir is subject to leaks (location -- between rear wheels). leaking from this reservoir and low pressure triggers the 'check engine' and 'brake failure' lights. temporary fix is to refill the reservoir, but this leakage problem appears systemic from manufacture. if left unattended, control over the rear braking system is severely diminished. *tr | |||

| I, like others on this site, have taken my kia to the dealer for brakes issues. grinding and stuttering while braking. kia has corrected the problem three times, and all three times have told me it was resolved. the fourth time i was told it was no longer a problem that it was indicative of the brake system! my service manager at the kia dealership informed me that kia is well aware of the problem , but chooses to ignore it, and that he has had quite a few customers with the same issues. this problem has been ongoing since our purchase of the car in feb 2004. *tr | |||
