Never had a car loose it`s brakes ,or go so quickly as this one (Amonti) dealer tech . said it was no way caused by driving . Kia rep says they never had any such complaints . I find this hard to believe . They said the same about (hesitation) ??? when pulling away .

I've never heard of a car called "Amonti".  ??? ??? Do you perhaps have a Kia Amanti instead?  ???

30 k km is very fast wear, but not entirely unheard of. I have always been very easy on brakes, but my '94 Golf went through a complete set of rotors and pads every 40k like clockwork.

BTW, if the rear brakes went that quickly, but the fronts were OK, I would suspect that the parking brake cable was not releasing properly.

Just put on some new pads and call it the day. No use stress over this.  :) First and only Amanti owner here.

Hope you had a huge discount off the MSRP on the Kia luxury car.
