Model Year	2016
File date	16/10/19
Component	ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Vehicle was stationary. The check engine light turns on and throws p050a code. I took into authorized dealer in october 2019, i was told kia is aware of issue and the code is insignificant, they cleared the code. This code error was triggered again about 4/12/2020. I have called kia to ask for a resolution and have been informed there is not one, except to have a dealer clear the code. They have no time frame for a resolution. I believe this becoming a safety issue as we as drivers should have trust in the significance of warnings for engine problems, and i am concerned for when there is an actual issue that arises and being unaware given the light sporadically turns off as well as the potential for loss of resale as i have been considering attempting to change vehicles. We should not be expected to be able to make it in to a dealer every time this non-issue code is thrown.
