THE PARKING BRAKE ON MY VAN WILL NOT HOLD IT IN PLACE PROPERLY. IT HAS BEEN THAT WAY SINCE I BOUGHT IT AS A DEMO WITH 2,400 MILES. I COMPLAINED ABOUT IT WITHIN THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF OWNING IT. THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT TRIED TO TIGHTEN IT, AND THEY ENDED UP BREAKING IT. A NEW ONE WAS INSTALLED, AND IT FEELS JUST LIKE THE OLD ONE. I DEPRESS THE PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR, AND WHEN I SHIFT INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE, THE VEHICLE MOVES. IF I GIVE IT A LITTLE BIT OF GAS, THE CAR WILL ROLL. I JUST MADE UP MY MIND THAT MY VAN DOES NOT HAVE A WORKING PAR…

PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT FUNCTION. I FIRST NOTICED THIS WHEN PARKING TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTER (SLIGHT INCLINE). AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND DEPRESSING THE PARKING BRAKE, THE VEHICLE WOULD SLIGHTLY ROLL. WHEN I GOT HOME, I STOPPED ON AN INCLINE, PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL, ACTIVATED THE PARKING BRAKE AND LET GO OF THE 4 WHEEL BRAKES... THE VEHICLE ROLLED WITH ABSOLUTELY NO RESISTANCE. CONTACTED THE DEALER, SAID IT WAS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM. *NM

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL AT APROX 70 MPH THEN I DEACTIVATED IT BY STEPPING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, A FEW MINUTES LATER THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED BY ITS SELF. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN A PERIOD OF THREE WEEKS. THE FIRST TWO TIMES THE CRUISE DEACTIVATED AFTER STEPPING ON THE BAKE PEDAL. BUT THE THIRD TIME WAS THE SCARY ONE. AFTER LEAVING THE FREEWAY AND ENTERING THE CITY, THE CRUISE CONTROL ACCELERATED THE KIA SEDONA TO APROX 72 MPH IN THE CITY. THE BAKE PEDAL DID NOT DEACTIVATE THE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE ENGINE STAR…

I HAVE HAD AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES PERIOD. I HAVE HAD THE PARKING BRAKE REPLACED DUE TO NOT WORKING. I HAVE ALSO GONE THROUGH FOUR SETS OF ROTORS IN 90,000 MILES. THE REASON IS BECAUSE SHORTLY AFTER BEING REPLACED WHEN BRAKING THE ENTIRE CAR BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY UNTIL THE SPEED REACHES BELOW 40 MPH OR SO. I HAVE HAD THE TIRES REPLACED ALSO DUE TO THEIR RECOMMENDATION THAT IT WAS THE TIRES POSSIBLY. I AM TIRED OF REPLACING ALL THE PARTS FOR IT TO JUST COME BACK SHORTLY AFTER. THE DEALER HAS ALSO ELUDED THAT THIS IS A BROAD …
