Update *4/16tr
Warped rotors under normal driving, noise and vibration, replaced rotors with same type of rotors. After driving about 2000 miles warped rotors again. Can not get any help from kia dealer or kia reps.
Around 4500 miles had vibration when braking. Dealer said that it was caused by warped rotors. They were replaced. Not two months later I had the same problem. Had to pay for rotors to be machined. Same week, rotors had to be machined again. One month later same problem. Had to pay to replace the pads.
