2007 Kia Rondo Exterior lighting Problems

This whole situation has really frightened me because I am essentially driving a ticking time bomb. …”

“I like my Kia Rondo. I have had respect for Kia and have recommended Kia. No longer do I have respect for Kia. They have lost a customer. Kia did a recall back in 2009.

On 4/6/14 the replacement stop lamp switch failed causing the ESC malfunction light to illuminate, the brake lights to fail to illuminate, and brake-transmission interlock to prevent the transmission from being either shifted from n to r or from p to r without using the shift lock release tab.
