Description of the problem	I was at car wash to wash car turned off car. Could not get it to restart after several attempts with push button start. Had to be towed to dealership. Replaced brakelight switch.. Still having issues to this day with intermittent no start.. July 3 brakelight switch replaced again second time now along with 11 campaign issues with car. Still having no start issues replaced same part again! On august 8th 2013. Still happening off and on . Was trying to deal with kia consumer affairs they are no help. Got told it had to not start again and need to be towed in to dealer before they would do anything. This is very unfair.

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.
