Brake lights are on and will not turn off. When the plunger on the brake light switch is moved it will go out and on and sometimes it will blink. It doesn't matter if the vehichle is in motion or still. There is a recall on 2014 kia Fortes and 2015 kia suvs for faulty brake light switches. The part number is the same, so shouldn't the recall cover my 2015 Forte as well?.

Rear brake light bulbs keep burning out. Found a recall for the switch. I brought it in to local repair shop and they say it's the switch. Called kia customer rep and they said there is a recall but it does not apply to my kia Forte. Not good! I have a kia and a Hyundai. Having issues with the Hyundai as well. These are both 2013 models and I expected more. I will not be buying these cars again since they have ongoing issues and the company does not stand behind their product for items that should not wear out in 4 years. Very poor quality.

The brake light on the car goes out often since I bought it, more commonly the right side. I have repeatedly checked and replaced fuses and bulbs. Sometimes the light won't last a month before someone tells me my brake light is not working. This is a hazard. I have not found any issues with the wires or fuses, but through research found earlier models of the kia Forte had a recall for the same issue. The problem being the brake light switch by the pedal. Kia needs to find a fix for this and do a proper recall.

Brake lights stop working took it to the dealership they said they would fix the brake switch but I'm responsible for the bulbs and the relay and also have to wait until Tuesday for the relay. What's the point of paying for a warranty.

Kia Forte ex 2014 esc light came on and my brake lights wont light up when steping on the brake. The brake pedal feels stiff when braking to a stop. Checked all pugs and bulbs and they all are good, called dealer and was told it might be the brake light switch and will take me in on Monday.

Esc light stays on, brake lights don't work, and cruise control works sporadically, all fuses are working, a quick google search reflects that the a faulty brake light switch might be the cause, which in fact it was.
