“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11060692, filed 2018-01, 159,048 miles“We are having ongoing issues with front turn signal failures on our Sedona and we have heard from other Sedona owners with the same problem. I at first thought it was a simple matter of poor factory quality light bulbs (I have had to replace every bulb on this vehicle before it was even two years old). The headlight issue I was having seems to be corrected by more expensive and higher quality bulbs. The front turn signal issue is not a bulb issue. After replacing front turn signal bulbs on a quarterly basis since 2007, I finally slowed down to take a closer look at the problem. …”
