Stop lamp switch was replaced in 2013 due to safety recall 13v114000. At present the esc light is malfuntioning and the vehicle will not shift out of park. Took the vehicle to our kia dealership and the service department determined that a faulty stop lamp switch was the cause. The switch was replaced and vehicle operates as normal. A request for reimbursement has been submitted to kia for the cost of the repair. This is a major safety concern and I feel it is the responsibility of Kia Motors to issue another recall.
