| 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 | |||
