HAVE A 2005 KIA SEDONA AND THE VAN HAS 22,000 AND HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP FOR BRAKE PROBLEMS OVER 6 TIMES. SINCE 8/05 HAS BEEN BACK IN FOR SERVICE FOR OIL LEAKS, REMOTE PROBLEMS, TIRE PROBLEMS. THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN CHANGED, THE PADS, EVERYTHING HAS BEEN DONE BUT AFTER A LITTLE TIME PASSES THE NOISE AND THE PULSATING COMES BACK.
