Description of the problem	Since buying the 2014 kia fwd 4-cyl vehicle, i have had about 5 instances where the car would not start after i pressed the brake pedal and then the ignition switch. Kia and hyundai had brake switch issues in models circa 2011 and earlier, but i could not find anything about whether kia fixed the problem in subsequent model years. During my incidents i have repeated the above steps trying to start the non-responsive vehicle until it inexplicably started up; took over 10 re-tries each time this problem occurred. I am taking the vehicle into the dealer on monday 11/4/13 asking them to fix the problem.
