| Description of the problem | Tl* the contact owns a 2006 kia sedona. The contact stated she had her vehicle serviced for the recall associated with nhtsa campaign id number: 09v130000 (exterior lighting: brake lights: switch).

The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on many occasions where the right and left sway bar links were replaced. The failure continued to recur whenever driving over a bumpy road surface. The vehicle was not repaired for the cruise control failure. The failure and current mileage was 89,000. |
