Second Time Endangering The Lives Of My Family
Since day 1 we bought our Kia Picanto, the brakes failed intermittently. This car has been at Kia Menlyn twice where they \serviced\" the brakes without success. We have had to avoid plenty of accidents with a baby in the car with brakes failing. Kia Silver Lakes finally discovered that the brake cylinder is broken, but still expect us to drive with the car and endanger our family while we wait for a warranty replacement part. Their solution: \"Just don't drive far.\" Shocking, since the last time the brakes failed it happened 700m from home. No courtesy car or safe solution - just gamble with your lives and hope the brakes don't fail until we can fix them. Had similar safety issues with the Rio we drove before the Picanto. Kia just don't seem to understand the concepts of manslaughter and don't care about their customer's safety. My tip: if you see a Kia on the road, KEEP YOUR DISTANCE. They expect their customers to continue to drive proven unsafe cars even though the car is still under full warranty. The least we expected was a courtesy car, but no, Kia insists on risking their customer's lives. I will never ever drive a Kia again. This time it will be escalated to the CPA."
