I think I'll call around before bringing my car in to see what the dealer proposes to do because turning the rotors and doing nothing else will just make it worse. It will just get rid of the problem for a short while. If you think about it same pads/rotors started out not warped ended up warped. So what happens if you make the rotors thinner by turning them? Logic says more warped

Currently at my dealer for brake vibrations. The service manager confirmed and said there’s an actual TSB for them now. Trying to get a copy or number for it. They are just gonna replace my rotors under warranty, car only has 4200 miles on it.

Hey folks! Been awhile since on the forums but a quick update.
Since starting this thread I'm on my 2nd replacement set of rotors. The last lasted about 10k as well but this time was over the year warranty and 20k. It took some doing but the dealer took on full cost and replaced the pads as well. Around 1200 on these with no issues... So far✊

UPDATE: just talked to the service manager, part number is the same but rotors are different. there is a TSB. KIA is well aware of the problem. no one should be paying for new rotors!!

Had my front rotors replaced and they also machined the rears all under warranty. Waiting for the paperwork to be mailed to me and I’ll get the TSB for everyone.

@Alpha_Sting1 looking good.

@derek0609 make sure you bed in the brakes properly to prevent the issue form coming back as quick. Did they replaced the pads as well?

So, the other day I ended up doing some high speed braking maneuvers and since then, no shaking. I think I fixed it. Haha. Time will tell, but so far, so good
