Brake Light Switch problems of the 2009 Kia Motor Optima

While I was not notified about a recall, until recently, the dealer advised my information was probably not passed on to the proper authorities from the previous owner. I went to the kia dealer in crystal river and they supposedly put a new brake light switch on my vehicle and when I left the dealership my abs/esc lights were illuminated on the dash and my car started doing all kinds of funny things like vibrating and shuttering under the gas pedal. You know you could feel the shuttering on the gas pedal. At that point I had no brakes and barely stopped. I thought it was only a temporary thing but now its doing it all the time and I can't feel safe driving the car at all. I still owe almost 9000. 00 dollars and can't afford a costly repair from a recall. . I have spoke with some people and they advised that the recall has been causing the ecs to malfunction in many cases and caused the stability of the car and abs to act up.

Per NHTSA recall number 13v114 I took my 2009 kia Optima to koons kia in woodbridge on 11/21/2013 to replace my vehicle's stop lamp switch. The next day I noticed that after applying the brakes for the first time the brake lights are continuously illuminated and remain illuminated after I have shut down the engine and the ignition switch is in the off position. Another problem is that the electronic stability control (esc) light intermittently comes on. Both of the above problems arose after the 11/21/2013 stop lamp switch replacement.

Second failure of brake switch. Esc off light comes on intermittently while driving. Unsure if brake lights are working, if the esc is working, or if the cruise control will shut off during these episodes. There is a recall on other models and years of kia automobiles but not on this model. It seems it may have same problem.
