2011 kia Sorento ex 3. 5 engine sport utility vehicle has randomly changed in the way its feels safe with rough instability in my suspension components. My brakes failed while driving on a random basis as well as when car is parked will randomly click in my gear shift mechanism and will fail to lock when car is parked and shut off it will click when brakes are depressed. My front lights have dimmed and both brake lights have burned out consistently as well as my steering wheel has failed with electrical components randomly. Car horn is inoperable and my cruise control stop functioning. My alternator burned out on me and my car has historial proof of consistent maintenance with car fax report in hand . My gas milage has since decreased. My suspension feels unsafe to drive and really bad on bumps and average road conditions are also very unpleasant so I have parked it until it's fixed for active recalls and other potential manufacturer defects.

8 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 04/15/2011

While driving downhill for no apparent reason even though the downhill assist switch is turned off, the car starts braking by itself as if the hill brake assist switch was turned on. This happens most of the time and almost caused a crash from someone hitting my rear end since the brake lights do not come on.
