Description of the problem	There were a handful occasions where the epb light would come on, and the emergency brake would lock up, which resulted in me not being able to move. The first time, i gave up trying to get it to move. Later, my husband tried, and it was back to normal. We researched it, and the next few times it happened, we thought we were just doing something wrong. We would try a few different "tricks" (like making sure you had your seat belt on), and, eventually, it would work! Not today!! I went to someone's house to pick up something i had ordered from them. When i got there, i engaged the parking brake and turned the vehicle off, like normal. I heard this sound that sounded like a saw. I thought it was my car, but after i got out of the car, and i still heard the sound, i figured it was actually a neighbor working with a saw. When i went to leave, and my car's epb light was on, and i was firmly locked in place, i realized that it was not a saw i heard. The sound, was in fact, coming from my vehicle's brake system. We tried anything and everything! We researched what other people have done when this happened to them. We tried everything! The whole ordeal had us stuck for over 3 hours while we waited for the tow truck. Currently, it's sitting at the kia dealership waiting for a tech to look at. So, i don't know what the final conclusion is. And, of course, the warranty ends at 60,000 miles, and mine has about 63,000 miles!!! I feel like this has happened the majority of the time on a driveway with a slight incline. I'm not sure if this is just a coincidence or not. Especially since it happened at least once in a level grocery store parking lot.

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.
