    I purchased my 23 sorento in April and I have the vehicle in the shop now 4 times for brake issues. They have told me countless times its the rotors, which were turned 2 time and replaced 1 time. Here in the shop for the 4th and hopefully the last time. The dealership is starting to get on my last nerve, please just fix the rotors, pads and calipers. At this point you are wasting my time, which is losing me money.
