One problem related to brake light on has been reported for the 1998 Kia Motor Sportage. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
This is the third time I have had brake problems and the vehicle has only 8300 miles on it. The first time the brake light was on and they change the eng brake solenoid. The seconed time the master cylinder failed and all four brakes parcially locked up. This time I was donig 68 on the highway and the right front brake locked up. I missed hitting another car by less than an inch when it made my vehicle swerve instantly. I am getting scared to drive it at all!! whats going to happen next? "I don't want to die or kill my family or someone else's!!!!".
