Description of the problem	The vehicle has had a history of problems all described by the 2013 recall. The brake light is intermittent. I have had the cruise fail to turn off, the esc off light illuminates, the car can be shifted into gear without pressing the break with the ignition off. The vehicle will occasionally have automatic transmission issues with the break transmission interlock system which is causing the intermittent esc off light warning to randomly illuminate. It will go quite a time without it on then randomly turn on and off and then stay and then repeat the same type pattern associated with the reports of the initial recall. I have reported these issues to kia in which i called the kia us corporate line about a year and a half ago. It still continues despite regular service and proper vehicle care. The vehicle can be stationary or in movement. In many cases the esc off light illuminates when starting from a stopped position, or right after accelerating or beginning to accelerate. The only way to reset it is to turn the car off and then back on. Sometimes that works sometimes it doesn't. If it works at times, as soon as i move the shifter away from park it illuminates the esc off light. It is intermittent though and can be hard to catch. When it happens though it does so on and off randomly. This has occurred repeatedly since purchasing the car. Mechanics cannot figure it out except expressing it is exactly the description of the recall. I was unaware of the recall as my vin didn't shot up. However the kia office told me the cars vin was registered as sportage without ac even thought it has ac and has since manufacture. The issues need attention. I was informed by another driver that the tail lights were out multiple times but i could never reproduce it. I've only caught it once at night as i can see the reflections of the brake lights behind me. Various speeds.

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.
