Description of the problem	I am very shocked that the highway traffic and safety administration noticed a problem with the 2006 sportage stop light brake switch but has not taken kia to task for producing faulty stop light brake switches in all its models/years. I've had to replace stop-light brake switches in 2005 and 2007 kia spectra's multiple times. The brake lights stay on after releasing the brake pedal or the light does not go on at all upon applying the brakes.. It would appear that china, a country importing kia models, was quicker to react to recalls than you guys are. Even if you take your car in for a faulty brake light switch... Lots of luck... Kia dealers don't even stock the parts. When are you guys going to recall the rest of the kia line? This should have been done yesterday. Inaction results not only in potential accidents but millions of dollars in fines and penalties raked in by the states in which kia does business. Kia is adding millions of dollars to the state and city coffers the result of fines levied against its users for faulty brakes....
