Does Kia have any warranty on the brakes?

Curious to know if Kia offers any warranty for the brakes. I think Ford will cover any wearing issues for the first 1200 miles.

Most dealers will replace warped rotors (which should never happen if you break them in properly during the first 1,000) but pad wear is your problem. It's in the warranty manual.

YES!

Kia will cover ANY wearable items for the 12 month or 12,000 mile "Adjustments" period. Light bulbs, wiper blades, hoses, brakes, belts, tires, even the wheel alignment. Pretty neat stuff!

I defer to @MulinatoR. I drove my Pontiac G8 GT for 200,000 miles on the original pads, so wearing out brakes in 12,000 miles is -- well, unbelievable -- not to mention that I need to go back and RTFM.

Did your Pontiac have brembos?

To be honest, I have no idea since I never touched them. Both my '05 GTO and the '08 G8 GT came from the GM Holden Commodore plant in Australia. My GTO has PBR brakes. There was no visible marking on the calipers on the G8 GT that I remember. The G8 was a long distance road car and although the wife hauled groceries and ran errands in it as her DD, most of it's life was on the open road where it excelled. Lots of interstate highways from my corner of SW Missouri, so not a lot of single lane roads and heavy braking. I don't remember hearing anyone mention the brakes on the G8 except that they were excellent. My GTO has 98,000 miles and still on factory brakes. I try to be careful not to over-use them. My wife waits less time and brakes harder than I do most of the time.
