Brake Fluid Leak Problems of Kia Motor Sorento

There is brake fluid leaking into my car, the fluid is coming from the brake system leaking down the brake peddle and onto my floor mat. The car was parked overnight, I noticed it this morning and I drove the car and the fluid leaked on my shoe.

The hydraulic control unit (hecu) assembly controls the anti-lock braking system(abs) electronic stability control system (esc) and traction control system (tcs) in your vecicle. Brake fluid may leak intrnally inside the hecu,which,overtime,can result in an eletrical short. An electrical short in the hecu increases the risk of an engine compartment fire. Kia says they inspected the unit indicated"no electrical draw at this time". I would prefer the unit be replaced with a new one.

I rcv'd a letter from kia re the hydraulic elec cntrol unit that it may leak fluid and result in a fire. Ltr dtd oct 15, '20; rcv'd @ mid Nov. Have tried telephonic contact w/local dealer many times and get nowhere- no return calls, no commo whatsoever. Ltr states kia has advised dealers to inspect, but no interest from viva kia, el paso.
