| Description of the problem | I have a 2007 kia spectra 5. I pulled into a gas station and a woman pulled in to tell me i had no brake lights. I had just gone on a trip with my parents following behind me so it had to have just gone out. The next day my husband called the kia dealership and they said because the spectra was not on the recall list we would have to pay out of pocket. It seems that since the defect is occurring exactly like other models. There are also instances i have found online of other spectras doing the same thing. |
