WHILE PARKED THE BRAKE TAIL LIGHTS STAY ON; WHILE DRIVING THE CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTIONS, AND ESC LIGHT INDICATOR ILLUMINATES AND STAYS ON. IT IS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE RECALL NHTSA #13V114000 AND THE KIA RECALL #SC098, BUT MY VIN NUMBER APPARENTLY ISN'T LISTED AS ONE THAT IS AFFECTED, WHICH IT IS! I HAVE NOTICED IT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, BUT NOW THEY ALL ARE GETTING WORSE. I DID NOT KNOW IT WAS A RECALL PROBLEM.

STOP LAMP SWITCH WAS REPLACED IN 2013 DUE TO SAFETY RECALL 13V114000. AT PRESENT THE ESC LIGHT IS MALFUNTIONING AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR KIA DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DETERMINED THAT A FAULTY STOP LAMP SWITCH WAS THE CAUSE. THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED AND VEHICLE OPERATES AS NORMAL. A REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED TO KIA FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND I FEEL IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF KIA MOTORS TO ISSUE ANOTHER RECALL.

THE ESC LIGHT ILLUMINATED IN MY KIA SEDONA FOR TWO YEARS ON AND OFF NOT UNTIL RECENTLY DID I REALIZE WHEN THIS HAPPED THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. I BROUGHT CAR IN AND WAS CHARGED $250 TO REPLACE THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. I SAW THIS WAS A RECALL ON 2007 KIA SEDONA BUT DEALER STATED IT DID NOT INCLUDE MY KIA SEDONA HOW CAN THE SAME EXACT THING THAT HAPPENED ON ALMOST 1 MILLION KIA AND HYUNDAI NOT BE THE SAME THING ON MY KIA SEDONA. I BELIEVE MY KIA SHOULD HAVE BEEN PART OF THE RECALL AND I SHOULD BE ISSUED A REFUND FOR THIS REPAIR.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, YOU SUDDENLY LOOSE POWER. THE ESC OFF LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE. IT'S LIKE THE PEDAL IS NOT THERE. YOU COULD BE GOING 50 MPH AND THEN SUDDENLY DROP DOWN TO 20 TO 30 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. THERE IS A FEW CODES THAT COME UP: P2106 THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM-FORCED LIMITED POWER P2138. THROTTLE/PEDAL POSITION SENSOR/SWITCH "D"/"E" VOLTAGE CORRELATION. THERE ARE OTHER CODES THAT CAME UP BEFORE AND IT ALSO CAUSED THESE ISSUES. THIS HAPPENS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. SOMETIMES YOU CAN TELL ITS GOING TO TURN ON THE ESC LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT AND GOING TO LOOSE POWER AND SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS ALL OF A SUDDEN. WHEN RESEARCHING ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, ITS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH KIA ESPECIALLY THE SEDONAS.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED THE VEHCILE EXPERIANCED AN UNCOMMANDED DECELERATION WITH NO RESPONSE TO PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. WITH NO LEFT HAND MEDIUM TO PULL OVER TO, THIS LEFT ONLY THE RIGHT MEDIUM AS AN ALTERNATIVE. NAVIGATING TO THE RIGHT WITHOUT ACCELERATION MADE THIS EXTREAMLY DANGEROUS IN MIAMI TRAFFIC. ONCE ON THE MEDIUM THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, REACTIVATING THE SYSTEM. DEALER INDICATES THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR IS INTERMITTANLY DEFECTIVE CAUSING THE THROTTLE TO DEFAULT TO IDLE MODE AND DEACTIVATING THROTTLE COMMANDS. I AM OF THE OPINION THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION AND THE THROTTLE SHOULD DEFAULT TO A MANUAL INPUT IF THE SENSOR BECOMES DISCREPANT. *TR

FIRST, THE AIR BAG LIGHT FOR DRIVER STAYS ON, THEN CRUISE CONTROL QUIT WORKING, NOW THE HORN QUIT WORKING. I TOOK IT TO A GARAGE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING. I LOOKED UP AND SEE THAT OTHER MODELS OF KIA'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR FAULTY CLOCK SPRINGS; BUT NOT THE SEDONA. I BELIEVE THIS MODEL SHOULD ALSO BE RECALLED AS IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD NOT TO HAVE A WORKING AIR BAG AND HORN. I WAS TOLD BY TWO DIFFERENT GARAGES THAT IT WILL COST $350 TO REPLACE THE CLOCK SPRING. I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THIS SO I WILL DRIVE WITH NO HORN OR AIR BAG. IF I SHOULD BE INJURED OR DIE IN A CRASH DUE TO EITHER OF THESE ITEMS NOT WORKING I HAVE INSTRUCTED MY WIFE AND CHILDREN TO SUE KIA FOR NOT RECALLING ALL THE CLOCK SPRINGS, WHEN ITS OBVIOUS THAT MORE MODELS HAVE PROBLEMS THAN WHAT HAS BEEN RECALLED. *TR

MY GRANDCHILDREN AND I WERE COMING HOME FROM THE LAKE ON A HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH. I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO PASS ANOTHER CAR WHEN IT BECAME STUCK. WE WERE ACCELERATING AT A RAPID SPEED AND I COULD NOT SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN I WAS STANDING ON THE BREAK AND WAS STILL DOING 80MPI. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL TO COAST THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING AT HIGH SPEED. AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE I HAD TO MANUALLY PULL THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL UP WITH MY HAND. THERE WAS NOTHING FOR IT TO HAVE GOTTEN STUCK ON. THE FLOOR MATS WERE NOT TOUCHING THE PEDAL IN ANY WAY. THIS WAS NOT ONLY SCARY BUT TO SAY THE LEAST VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING INTERSTATE 80 WESTBOUND. AS WE WERE EXITING A REST AREA ENTERING THE INTERSTATE THE ACCELERATOR BECAME STUCK AND THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE CONTROLLED. WE WERE REACHING SPEEDS UPWARDS OF 90-100 MPH. WE COULDN'T GET THE VAN TO SLOW DOWN SO WE PUT THE VAN IN NEUTRAL TO SLOW IT DOWN. THE VAN FINALLY SLOWED BUT BECAUSE THE RPMS OF THE ENGINE WERE SO HIGH AND WOULD NOT STOP THE ENGINE MADE A SCREAMING NOISE AND THE VAN FINALLY STOPPED. WE HAD IT TOWED ABOUT 50 MILES TO THE KIA DEALER IN DES MOINES IOWA AND ARE WAITING TO SEE IF THERE WAS A FACTORY DEFECT THAT CAUSED THE PEDAL TO BECOME STUCK ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH NO RELEASE.. IN THE MEAN TIME IT IS FEARED THAT THE ENGINE IS BLOWN, MAKING PAYMENTS STILL AND NO VEHICLE OR HELP FROM DEALER AT THIS TIME.. *JS

I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN INTERMITTENT "NON-START" ISSUE WITH MY CAR. I WOULD TURN THE KEY AND NOTHING. THE LIGHTS WOULD GO ON, RADIO WOULD GO ON, BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING TOWARDS CRANKING AND STARTING. NO CLICKING NOISE, NOTHING. I WOULD GET OUT OF THE CAR OPEN AND CLOSE SOME DOORS AND MOST OF THE TIME IT WOULD START. ALSO, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE ESC OFF LIGHT CAME ON. WHENEVER I STOPPED IT WOULD GO OFF UNTIL I GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN. I HAD MY MECHANIC PLUG IT IN TO SEE IF ANY ERROR CODES SHOW, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING. I CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND A RECALL FOR THESE EXACT ISSUES TIED TO THE STOP LAMP SWITCH, BUT WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO KIA DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY HAD FIXED THE RECALL A COUPLE YEARS EARLIER. I BOUGHT A NEW STOP LAMP SWITCH MYSELF, (GENUINE KIA PART, NOT GENERIC,) AND HAD IT REPLACED AGAIN. (CHEAP PART OF AND INSTALLATION.) I THEN WENT ON ROAD TRIP AND NOTHING WAS FIXED. ESC OFF LIGHT WAS ON NEARLY THE WHOLE TIME AND I HAD A NON-START DURING TRIP. THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER ISSUE INVOLVED HERE. I LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY SO I HARDLY EVER AM DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS, SO ROAD TRIPS WAS ONLY TIME I WOULD SEE ESC OFF LIGHT AND I RARELY IF EVER USE CRUISE CONTROL, SO I DON;T KNOW IF I WOULD HAVE THE CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE TIED TO THIS STANDARD GROUP OF ISSUES EITHER. *JS
