Description of the problem	There were things leading up to the incident that i was not aware of as a problem as the esc light would go on, but then it would turn off and i was always told that i don't have a problem with anything unless the light goes on and stays on, so i never had it checked. The other night as i was driving down the road i had my 2008 kia rondo in cruise control. When i needed to break, the car slowed down a little, but the automatic cruise control continued to accelerate my car. The practice of applying the break did not turn off the cruise control and i continued to accelerate. Only when i hit the cancel button on the column did the cruise control turn off. When i got to the location i needed to go to i could only get the car to go from drive into neutral. It would not go back into park and let me take the keys out of the car. When i went back home this stopped and everything went back to normal. Upon calling the dealership with what was going on, they asked if i ever had the break switch replaced. I said no. They said it sounded like that was what it was, but if it were under recall, i would have gotten a notice. They said they would take care of it anyway. I looked and saw that the 2007 rondo had a recall with the exact same thing my car has been experiencing. When i got to the dealership i was told that because i now had 69,000 miles on my car, that they would have to charge me to replace the switch. But, had i gone in before 60,000 they are just replacing them automatically in all rondo vehicles. It feels to me that they are trying to get around another recall, but trying to make money on those of us who drive long distances at work and are now having problems.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
