2007 Kia Sedona

The contact owns a 2007 Kia Sedona. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the ESC and ABS warning lights illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that on several occasions, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the brake light independently activated while the vehicle was parked. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with a failed stop light switch. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact researched and discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V088000 (Electrical System, Service Brakes, Hydraulic); however, the recall was not associated with the VIN. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

SOME ELECTORAL PROBLEMS ARE HAPPENING. WHEN DRIVING OR PARKED THE BRAKE LIGHTS APPEAR IN FLASHING MANNER AND DURING THAT 5 SECOND TIME IT WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK MY WINDOWS AND IF I AM USING MY SUPPERS THEY STOP WORKING SOMETIMES. ALSO SOMETIME THE WINDOWS DONT WORK AND THEBRADIO ALSO MESSES UP AND CHANGES STATION WITH OUT ME TOUCHING IT. THISBHAS BEEN AN ONGOING THING FOR AG LEAST 3 YEARS. ALSO IT USE TO NOT STARTVAT FORB2 DAYS AND THEN ITBWOUKDBSTART WITH NO HELP. I WOUKD COME THROUHH THE PASENGERS SIDE AND STARTBIT FINE. LOTS IF ELECTRIC ISSUES.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 KIA SEDONA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR. THE ESC WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT. THE KIA DEALER IN CHEYENNE, WYOMING ADVISED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V389000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 183,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

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.
