2007 Kia SORENTO Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1105008
Internal NHTSA #	10629465

Brand	KIA
Model	SORENTO
Model Year	2007
File date	04/08/14
Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Esc and check engine light illuminated. Took vehicle to dealer for repairs. Dealer service dept stated that brake light switch was at fault, but that it had been previously replaced in mar 2010 under a recall campaign. After replacing switch this time, dealer service adviser stated that switch appeared to be original, but that i would still have to pay for parts and labor ($129. 86). I paid but protested. I have serious doubts that brake light switch was replaced in mar 2010 as dealer stated, since the recently replaced switch appeared to be original equipment. Subsequently, i feel as though i should not have to pay for the most recent (aug 2014) repair, especially if switch had not been replaced under recall campaign previously. I suspect that dealer either falsified the mar 2010 repair, and/or replaced recalled switch with identical replacement (which is prone to failure). What good is a recall if original defect was simply reinstalled? I do have possession of defective switch replaced in aug 2014. Not only do i want my money returned to me, but i would like some assurance that the problem is now remedied with a reliable switch. Please respond.

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.
