Description of the problem	We are having problems with our 2008 kia sorento. The esc light, brake light, battery light, check engine light, and abs lights have come on. I have changed brakes, checked the battery and these lights go off and on. My car has experienced reducing speed when esc light has come on and started malfunctioning at around 64,000 miles. Abs light and check engine have went off. Esc light is still going off and on. The brake lights have failed on us. I am concerned for my wife's safety to all these defects that are happening, and would like for your help in resolving these issues with kia. I have read of other people having complaints with the same issues and saw to report this to nhtsa. Furthermore i told kia of an oil leak i was having and asked if it would be covered under warranty and they failed to answer, and did not fix it. Never had any trouble with the car until i took it to the dealership to have transmission fluid changed and after that is when all the problems started happening. Please help.
