DRIVING SOUTH ON I65 BETWEEN GARDENDALE, AL AND BIRMINGHAM, AL. AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH - CLEAR DAY, SUNNY APPX 80 DEGREES AT 11:00 AM CST. CONCRETE ROADWAY WITH EXPANSION JOINTS. EXPERIENCED VIOLENT GYRATIONS - CAR LITERALLY BOUNCING OFF ROADWAY. SLOWED TO 50 MPH AND MOVED VEHICLE TO FAR LEFT LANE - ROADWAY WAS SMOOTHER AND CAR RETURNED TO A STABLE CONDITION. THE ORIGINAL LANE WAS ROUGHER. BUT THE CAR BECAME VERY UNSTABLE TO THE POINT OF FEARING THAT I WOULD LOSE CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO RESUME NORMAL FREEWAY SPEEDS WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENTS. NO APPARENT DAMAGE BUT I WILL HAVE THE SUSPENSION CHECKED BY THE DEALER. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAND NEW CAR PURCHASED 04/06/13 AND HAS 2900 MILES AND BRAKES SQUEAK. BRAKES HAVE BEEN SQUEAKING SINCE MAY BUT UNABLE TO LEAVE IT DUE TO LONG PERIODS OF WAITING FOR CAR. WAS TOLD BY SERVICE MANAGER THAT BRAKES ARE GLAZED AND ITS COMMON AND HAPPENS AND THEY WILL DEGLAZE BUT IT WILL KEEP HAPPENING BECAUSE ITS JUST THE BRAKES. I HAVE OWNED AND DRIVEN MANY CARS AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM PRIOR TO THIS VEHICLE AND THE VAN I HAVE THAT IS ALSO MANUFACTURED BY THE SAME PARENT COMPANY AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. I WAS TOLD THAT IT GLAZED BECAUSE MY VAN WAS HEAVY BUT THIS NEW CAR IS VERY SMALL AND LIGHT. A CUSTOMER IN THE WAITING AREA SAID HE HAS NEVER HEARD OF GLAZING AND WORKED ON CARS FOR 30 YEARS. I BELIEVE THAT THESE CARS MADE FROM HYUNDAI/KIA ARE MADE WITH CHEAP PARTS THAT HAVE TO BE REPLACED OFTEN AND THAT'S HOW THE MAKE UP FOR CHEAPLY SOLD CARS. I NEED HELP FIGURING OUT HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR
