Who else has had warped rotors?

I'm lost what does Punny mean then?!

Lol. Funny pun, combined: punny.

kinda figured.

Had my rotors resurfaced at 500 miles and the dealership tried to tell me they shouldn't cover it but would because they're "nice" like that. Now I'm at 7300 and they're warped again....I just wish there were other options out there other than those goofy looking two piece rotors from WP or whatever the company is.

 

[stingeradmr]

they covered mine at 24,000 miles under warranty because there is a problem

 

[rocket23]

wont be long before some chinese replacements come along.....don't panic, I scored some really good stuff from china for my RAM, when it was upgraded.

 

[Kamauxx]

I generally don't have a problem buying from Chinese manufacturers but I'm drawing the line at trusting them with parts made to stop a 167mph 3900lb hunk of metal and gasoline.

To the people with open cases at the dealer, are they offering the Euro-spec brake pads as an option during the rotor replacement? I'll go out on a limb and say many dealerships may not be aware that there are 2 pad choices available.

I still haven't heard from my service advisor after Kia's district honcho "good will gestured" me a set of remanufactured rotors.

I'd compare 3900 lbs and 167 with 400 bhp and 5800 lbs any day......slotted rotors and ceramic brakes are no joke .....and thats what I used. Zero brake dust and great stopping power from a truck with 80,000 miles on the master cylinder....but I get the point ya get what ya pay for in every instance.

 

[rocket23]

but we can't get anything yet,lol

Here you go,
KHARTUNERZ / GiroDisc 2 Piece Slotted Rotors

 

[KLR STINGER]

Just bought those. Need to find pas option though

Steering wheel is wobbling while braking assuming its the rotors... Did anyone try calling the Kia Hotline? Dont we have a premium number to call as well for issues?

That's who is helping me. But you need to take it in first so they can document what's wrong.

If you're within your 12 month 12k mile warranty you shouldn't need to call them.

Thanks. I am under both.

 

[MisterMac]

I checked this morning and the Euro Spec pads are not available to order yet, here in the U.S.

 

[rocket23]

neither are any replacement rotors......grrrrrrr; I'd love to just swap out the oem crap and slap on the better aftermarket crap,lol

I got warped rotors after about 7000km (~4500mi) Kia missed this one, may have used regular rotors off another production line with the brembos? Resurfacing doesn't work because "warped" or pulsing rotors is not actually bent out of alignment, it's different metal density/structure due to either, pads leaching into metal because of high temperature, or because of uneven cooling off the rotor from what I've read online in the past. Only way I've solved this with my previous car was to get aftermarket drilled rotors coupled with carbon pads. I would assume it went away because the rotors cooled better and the pads more resistant to heat since they were track pads; downside is they squealed when slowing down right before coming to a stop under normal driving because they needed a higher operating temperature.

 

[Bugout]

I'm having this problem now too.. 3100 miles. Appointment scheduled. I'm not looking forward to the fight.

The Stinger manual actually warns that noisy "high performance brakes" are normal and do not indicate that the brakes are not working properly.
