| Description of the problem | I have been having an intermittent "non-start" issue with my car. I would turn the key and nothing. The lights would go on, radio would go on, but the car wouldn't do anything towards cranking and starting. No clicking noise, nothing. I would get out of the car open and close some doors and most of the time it would start. Also, i was driving on the highway when the esc off light came on. Whenever i stopped it would go off until i got back on the highway again. I had my mechanic plug it in to see if any error codes show, but there was nothing. I checked online and found a recall for these exact issues tied to the stop lamp switch, but when i took the car to kia dealership they said they had fixed the recall a couple years earlier. I bought a new stop lamp switch myself, (genuine kia part, not generic,) and had it replaced again. (cheap part of and installation.) i then went on road trip and nothing was fixed. Esc off light was on nearly the whole time and i had a non-start during trip. There has to be another issue involved here. I live in new york city so i hardly ever am driving on highways, so road trips was only time i would see esc off light and i rarely if ever use cruise control, so i don;t know if i would have the cruise control issue tied to this standard group of issues either. *js |
