Description of the problem	My son was pulled over and the officer said there were no operating rear lights. Noticed that you have to turn them on and off to come on. Then on another day there were no brakes gets lights either. I informed southwest kia mesquite of the problem. They said that it was the light switch because one of their other models have the same issue and there was a recall on that model. They charged me to fix this saying although it was recalled in their other model the sorento was not recalled. After they installed they said i should have no problems with the lights and brake lights. They even did another insepction a week or so later (12/20/2019) saying that my car was safe to travel and everything was fine. While on the road trip with my family we noticed that the two main brake lights were not working and the cruise control was not working. We tried turning lights on and off and they still didnt work. Kia has placed my family in danger. We are out of state and have no way of getting the car back to texas safely. Kia has exhausted all of my money and they have not fixed anything. The car is unsafe. I googled and found thatb a lot of people are driving around with kia's with no brake lights. They wont own up that something is wring with the sorento, cruise control system, back and brake lights. My rear lights shut off in the middle of driving. Is kia waiting for fatalities before they deal with this safety issues with the sorento? How mucch longer are they going to continue to rip people off and leave them and their families unsafe? I transport kids as i am a child protective services caseworker and this vehicle is not safe for anyone. Its unfortunate that kia has exhausted all of my funds that i can't rent nor get another car while out of state for christmas stuck on the road.
