2010 Kia FORTE Electronic Stability Control Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1697389
Internal NHTSA #	11364353
Manufacurer	Kia Motors America
Brand	KIA
Model	FORTE
Model Year	2010
File date	14/10/20
Component	ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Hydraulic:antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip:control unit/module is failing, causing traction control and abs to turn off. Dealership diagnosis is that moisture probably got in it causing the issue and the unit needs to be replaced. Kia has recalls in place for this same unit on their 2006-2010 sedona and 2007-2009 sorento vehicles (recall number 20v088000, recall date 02/14/2020), but not for the 2010 kia forte. Sounds like the same issue. Luckily we are getting it replaced before an accident occurred, but others may not be as fortunate. New replacement part is currently not available, so having to replace it with a used one that could possibly develop the same issue.

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.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
