| Electronic Stability Control problems |
The esc light went to esc off status. Tried to repair brake light switch. Brake light plunger stopper was broken. Cannot find replacement stopper of this type. Appears this is a completely different brake pedal assembly than original Rondo lx 2009. There was definitely a recall for this issue and we were not notified. Need assistance in making safety issue corrected. Park position can also slip out without applying the brake. Brake lights can stick on. Need assistance ASAP from kia.
While driving in the rain, the steering wheel locks and the brake light and battery light come on. The car remains on. I could be driving straight or trying to turn. It lasts at least 10-30 seconds making it very dangerous to drive.
Complaint: I've had my car a little under 2 years, and I continuously have a problem with the brakes and steering. I've gotten my brakes fixed at least 4-5 times since I had the vehicle. It does not drive or brake correctly when cold but mostly when it's raining or wet outside. I don't know what to do about this issue. I'm afraid of my own vehicle when driving in rain, puddles, etc. Because it doesn't stop with urgency or stay in control when I go over even small puddles. ( I don't have an exact date, I just know it's happened multipleeee times while driving).
While driving 30 mph, through a puddle, the car lost all ability to steer. Power felt as if it shut off for approximately 1 minute. Not the first time this has happened. Can you please investigate or do recall for whatever parts need to be replaced???.
This model car has at least three headlights. I have replaced the main headlights now 4 times in the last 6 - 7 months. Now the transmission has locked up making it impossible to put the car into park or past neutral. The esc off light will not go off. This issue has been observed on the 2007 model of this car.
