Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Regular driving causing brakes on 2000 kia sephia to require constant maintenance on the front rotors and pads. at varied intervals, the brakes would begin to start vibrating when applied, especially on the highway at high speeds (60 mph) and going down hills. there has been no accidents but many close calls. this is a very dangerous safety hazard. there is clearly a flaw in the braking system, that kia obviously will not acknowledge. as a matter of fact, i have to replace the rotors this week because they have been shaved down so much. five times in 2 years, and i won't even drive the car for months at a time. mostly because of this reason. *jb
