| 2003 | SERVICE BRAKES | POWER BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE WHILE GOING 15 MPH. TOOK VEHICLE TO SERVICE CENTER. THEY REPORTED THAT THE BRAKE LINES HAD RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID AND BRAKE SYSTEM FUNCTIONALITY. ONCE THE BRAKE LINE WAS PERFORATED IT COMPLETELY RENDERED ALL BUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE INOPERABLE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO STOP USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BECAUSE OF THE LOW RATE OF SPEED. HAD THIS OCCURRED AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED (E.G. 65 MPH) IT COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. ALL BRAKE LINES HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $670. I'VE OWNED MANY VEHICLES IN MY LIFETIME WITH SIMILAR AGE AND MILEAGE, BUT HAVE NEVER HAD BRAKE LINES RUST THROUGH. I LIVE IN A NORTHERN CLIMATE (NY STATE), BUT THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. FRIENDS OF OURS BOUGHT THEIR 2003 KIA SORENTO ONE WEEK AFTER WE DID. THEIR VEHICLE SUFFERED THE EXACT SAME BRAKE LINE RUST THROUGH AS WE DID LAS YEAR, WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, SO I'M INTERESTED IN KNOWING WHAT PERCENTAGE OF SAME MAKE/MODEL VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE. *TR |
