| Tl- the contact owns a 2009 kia spectra. the contact stated that when his vehicle was at the local repair shop he was advised that the vehicle needed new brakes, the rotors and brake shoes on the front were bad and needed to be replaced. the owner pulled the front wheels off and inspected the rotors and they were scorched and the right front brake hose had bubbles on it. the driver side rear rotor is warped. the contact believes the rotor was warped when it was first installed on the vehicle. kia stated they would repair the brake hose but could do nothing about the rotors, because this was normal wear and tear. the current and failure mileages were approximately 51,000. rd | |||

| 2009 kia spectra. while driving 20 mph, on snow covered street, applied brake pedal, pedal was firm and car slowing, then the pedal went soft and dropped approximately 1-2 inches and then firmed up again. this caused the abs to be applied, car would not stop. i was almost involved in a accident as other lane of traffic did not have stop sign. this is approximately the 20th time that when stopping the brake pedal has gone from firm to soft, while soft brake pedal depresses 1-2 inches, and then firms. this causes a delay in the car slowing and sometimes the abs is activated. i took car to dealership on 3/5/2010, dealer drove car 5 miles and could not recreate the problem. *tr | |||
