Description of the problem	Approximately, two weeks after purchase in 01/2013, "esc off," light came on multiple times at various speeds including vehicle start up. I made several calls to place of purchase regarding intermittent, "esc off," light. Pressing " esc off," dash button has no effect and the light stays illuminated. Dealer of purchase took vehicle to kia service and the diagnostic was tpms light is on, advise. At no time did the tpms light ever come on, nor was it reported as such. Vehicle was returned with no work done, and place of purchase was informed that tire(s) were low. Currently, the "esc off," light is still illuminating and brake lights have failed. Tire pressure check by recent service (oil change) was reported as normal.
