2011 KIA SPORTAGE Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Recall no. 13v114 has still not been resolved. With no predicable frequency, my daughter's car will suddenly be difficult to shift out of park and the steering will become more difficult, the stability control light will illuminate, the cruise control will be inoperative, the anti-lock brakes will become inoperative, because the stop lamp switch connected to the brake pedal is malfunctioning. I believe this can be repaired by a replacement stop lamp switch, at least temporarily. I do not know if kia has an alternate switch available to install. It has been almost eight years since this recall started. Please put pressure on kia to resolve this problem. I want to get this problem fixed on my daughter's car but i'd rather not pay for it myself, but i want to get it repaired this year. Thank you!

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.
