2011 Kia Forte Electronic stability control Problems

“I got into an auto accident a year ago and the airbags did not deploy but the vehicle was considered a total loss. I discovered that my vehicle was still drivable because I can't afford another one. Well just the other day my inside dash lights and brake lights , well basically all lights started flashing in and out. Made the car break down in the middle of the road. I bought a new battery. New fuel pump, checked starter and alternator. All of those are functioning properly. But my car is still broke down on the side of the road.”

“Car would not come out of park. I had no idea at the time what the issue could be because in the Kia owners manual it does not state that once the brake lights go out, you can not take it out of park. Car would not go into gear until I used the shift lock release to take it out of gear. Drove it home and found a blown fuze (brake light fuse) .. Replaced it and drove fine (while it was doing this the electrical suspension light came on also). Fast forward 7 days, was driving out of town and the suspension light came on while driving down the expressway and I knew then the issue was back. …”

“I keep replacing light bulbs and the part where u introduce the light bulbs is melting. I was told to check for recall on these. Thanks. I bought this car used from a dealer 1 yr ago and had replaced like 4 bulbs within a year.”

“The contact owns a 2011 Kia Forte. The contact stated that while driving 40 MPH, the electronic stability control light illuminated on the instrument panel as she heard a loud noise. The vehicle began to decelerate because the brakes engaged when the electronic stability control activated. The vehicle was not taken to have the failure diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileages were 4,100. Updated 08/31/11 update 09/09/11.”
