This happens everytime i do this..mas malala kapag mabilis ako (something like 80) at kapag masyadong malalim ang apak ko sa brakes...

The brakes are okey naman..kaso yun lang concern ko as of the moment..

'hope this is normal...

anyone of you experienced this?

i've experienced this lately(last night) while cruising sa nlex at 110km/h. naramdaman ko na my vibration when i step on the brake. pero pag mabagal speed ko wala naman vibration. i also checked my brakes mukhang ok naman. no signs of warp rotors.

I also checked the rotors..so far okey naman halos mukhang bago pa nga eh. Braking power is the same naman..

Sir Val, try mo yung running on a curve at 80 kph then try ko step on the brakes midway..baka normal lang yon kaya?

thanks sir Val, I again tried this (speed up on a curve then apply the brakes) along Pugo, La Union on my way back to Baguio. Daming curves din kasi dito. Nawala na yung vibration pero ang naririnig ko na lang eh parang nagkikiskisan na bakal..mahina lang naman so I think hindi naman major concern ito at the moment..i hope.

then bigla na lang syang...boom...sudden force of accelaration, and when you look at the back, black smoke coming out of the exhaust, ano kaya ito??? 1st time ko na experience this, the temp of the engine is around 1/4 pa lang sa gauge kasi i was kinda waiting for a long time for my kids sa school.

Is it bcoz the engine is cold (but i doubt it)??? I will observe bukas yung takbo ng carens ko, pag ganun pa rin, i will bring it to the dealer for check-up. my ODO reading is 8200+kms, last pms was last year September. My carens is a/t pala. [/SIZE]

Hasn't happened to me and my odo reading is 8700km.

Better have it checked by a Kia technician habang warranty pa.

brought my carens today sa service center, found out that air filter is very dirty and clog up and had to replace it with new one.

Greetings to all the happy Carens owners out there. Bought my M/T Carens Oct,08 and am having a great ride with it. I would like to ask if the rear wheels, specifically the right one is really splayed like that. It seems too off vertical to me. Does anyone have experience with this matter? Thanks.

I've noticed that in both rear wheels when fully loaded. I'll bring out this concern on my next PMS. It's good you brought this out.

Noob here, pwde paki explain ano ibig nyong sabihin (played like that and too off vertical???

in technical term positive or negative camber... in tagalog bisaklat.. in our case negative camber when the rear is fully loaded

use in sentence.. " Pare, bakit ganun yung carens parang naka bisaklat yung gulong lalo na pag puno ng sakay..."

this is common problem with multi-link suspension..

OT: I observe this also to most Honda CRV especially on the rear.. you can see the tire thread pattern is not even and worn out on the inner side.,, this can be solved by adjusting the camber of the rear wheels, or raising the suspension to compensate the negative camber
