Brake Light On problems of the 2008 Kia Motor Sportage

The contact owns a 2008 kia Sportage. While driving at various speeds, the brake warning light illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the brakes needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was unaware if the vehicle was serviced according to NHTSA campaign number: 13v114000 (exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 53,000.

I purchased my 2008 kia Sportage brand new, I take very good care of it. Currently I have 55,000 miles on it, last week the abs, parking brake and esc lights came on. I immediately took it to the dealer they ran a diagnostic test $90. 00. I was told the hydraulic assembly needs to be replaced, est cost of $2,311. 25 and that my car is now unsafe to drive. Was told that it was not covered under warranty and informed me that this was unusual. Therefore my concern is should this be a recall item?.

Hydraulic module assembly needed replaced-abs,esc,brake lights all came on. Took to dealer who stated "brains" of the abs system needed replaced. Vehicle only has 32,200 miles.

The contact owns a 2008 kia Sportage. The contact stated that the brake lights illuminated when the brake pedal was not being pressed. The contact also mentioned that the electronic stability control light illuminated. The dealer advised that NHTSA campaign number 13v114000 (exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic) was performed but the failure was not corrected. The failure mileage was 48,000 and current mileage was 51,000.

Approximately, two weeks after purchase in 01/2013, "esc off," light came on multiple times at various speeds including vehicle start up. I made several calls to place of purchase regarding intermittent, "esc off," light. Pressing " esc off," dash button has no effect and the light stays illuminated. Dealer of purchase took vehicle to kia service and the diagnostic was tpms light is on, advise. At no time did the tpms light ever come on, nor was it reported as such. Vehicle was returned with no work done, and place of purchase was informed that tire(s) were low. Currently, the "esc off," light is still illuminating and brake lights have failed. Tire pressure check by recent service (oil change) was reported as normal. According to kia customer support and the kia dealership of service, this vehicle is not included in the recall issued 01 April, 2013. Purchase mileage 27,476, mileage at kia service 30,328 on 21 Feb, 2013. Several online forums including kia-forums. Com report this problem as far back as 2007 models.
