| Description of the problem | Only owner of 2007 kia sedona, i was informed by another driver while driving that my brake lights did not work. I had noticed that the "esc" light was on my dash and did not go out. I called kia motors to inform them of this after i saw online that there was a recall and they advised that my vehicle was not involved in the recall and that i needed to take it to a dealer for diagnosis. I did and it was the same faulty brake switch that was on the recall but since kia said my unit was not included in the recall i have to pay for the part and repair by the dealer. I requested reimbursement from kia motors in good faith as what happened to my vehicle was exactly what happened to owners in the recall but they denied my good faith request. |
