| Description of the problem | Backed into a parking spot and engaged the epb. I heard the usual motor sound except it kept sounding for about 30 seconds. I disengaged the epb and put the car in drive to pull forward and the auto hold and electrical power brake (epb) got stuck and would not released although it was not showing on the dash as active and then, i tried to go forward and the auto hold and epb lights came on and were amber. I turned the car off waited a few minutes hoping for a reset and turn the car on and the auto hold and epb were no longer displayed. I again put it in drive and the break was still stuck. I engaged the epb and then dis engaged it and it stinks was stuck. I tried to go forward and it was stuck and then the epb, auto hold, traction control, and abs lights came on amber and stayed amber. My car was literally inoperable and had to have it towed to the dealership. Apparently this is a know issue and there should be a recall. Searching the web, i found this issue with multiple kia makes and the manager and service agent both told me that had seen this before. |
