1999 Kia Sephia from North America - Comments

I have had nine brake jobs in 100,000 miles.

If the brakes were reliable, I would love my car.

Every car I've ever had has required a break adjustment of some sort after the first 20,000 miles or so. At 100,000 miles you should of had at least five. If you've put that many miles on your car in three years you must drive it hard. That can be hard on any brakes. I've had my Kia for three years and have done all my suggested maintance which included brakes. I've had them adjusted twice. I have 40,000 miles on mine. My brother is a mechanic. He told me the best way to make a car last is to follow all the suggested maintance. Any make of car will last longer if you take care of it.
