Description of the problem | I own a 2007 kia sorento. Recently, my check engine and esc off lights became illuminated on my dashboard. I noticed that my brake lights were not illuminating when i pressed the brake pedal. After looking up my car make and model on the nhtsa website, i noticed there was a recall for my model year sorento for the exact same problems (nhtsa campaign number 13v114000/kia service campaign sc098). I took the carto my local kia dealership and they told me i was not eligible for the recall as my vin was not included. As such, i have to drive around without functional brake lamps until i get this problem resolved--increasing my chances of being rear-ended. I travel constantly for work so i do not have the luxury of not driving. This needs to be investigated and resolved. |
