Is anyone else having premature failure of front disc rotors on their Stinger under normal driving conditions?
Kia claims "Australia’s best unlimited seven-year warranty" this disappoints me as they are quick to place blame on the consumer.
I have made numerous attempts to contact their senior management in terms of having this issue remedied, however, they are simply not interested.
Kia Australia will not honour their warranty for premature disc failure and all warping.
If Kia is interested in keeping its "Stinger party faithful" the issue of disc rotor warping needs to be addressed urgently without being blown off by Kia Australia "front line customer service minions" being told "it’s simply wear and tear" and is not covered, yet Kia Australia openly advertise KIA run “TRACK DAYS” I bet they fit aftermarket rotors to avoid the embarrassment of rotor failure during these track days.
My question is, how does Kia Australia get off telling it customers that a warped rotor is a wear and tear item, when they advertise that the Stinger is capable of doing track days, to me this seems to be a blatant misrepresentation of Stinger’ brake performance as my rotors warped during city, freeway driving and occasional country drives.
Kia, should step up and admit that the rotors "are not for for purpose" and warp under normal driving purposes, let alone track days, I'll call "Bull Tish" on that!
As quoted "Time to play race cars with Kia Australia" - NOT REALLY the Stinger is not capable of a hard stop without killing its brakes !
I'm more than happy to bring my own Stinger to a track day not some "press prepared" vehicle to prove the short comings of the substandard braking system.
Your thoughts please?
