While driving step on brakes to slow and all warning lights related to brakes lite up and car shifter was stuck in drive or neutral. This has happened many times the lights come on and off . Had car checked and nothing could be found as no check engine light has come on. This is very dangerous as this car is used by wife and children daily. With all things considered we have researched this issue and found that many people have had similar issues and includes ABS module,transmission module speed sensor, or the main module which is troubling what do we do take a guess what to replace. Any help would be appreciated. As all of the parts listed have a heavy price to have changed.

I had just stopped at a red light when all the lights on my dashboard came on. Ecs, ABS, break, engine, 4 wheel drive and cruise control error, and the speedometer, odometer, and temperature gauge doesn't work. I pulled into the nearest auto parts place and then discovered I couldn't put the vehicle into park. I had to manually use the shift lock. They ran the computer and it showed a speed sensor error. This has been going on for a year. Sometimes it lasts a week, then acts normal for months or a few hours, then goes off again. This makes it really hard to figure out what's going on. Every time we try to take it in, it seems to work just fine and they can't diagnose the problem. When I called kia they told me there is nothing they can do.

This will be the second time an incident of this nature occurred. We have owned this vehicle for less than 2 years. Both times, while driving, multiple lights including ABS, ESC off, emergency brakes, and downhill braking assist come on. Mileage, gear, and speedometer stop working so you have no idea what speed you are traveling suddenly. Vehicle speeds were at about 40 and 45 MPH on clear roads. Once the vehicle is stopped, you can only shift to neutral gear or drive and the key can not be removed from the ignition, although the engine can be turned off. The brakes appear to continue working, although both times, I was able to slow the vehicle significantly once I noticed all of the lights on and lack of speedometer. There is no way to reverse the vehicle once this occurs. After the first time this occurred, we were told it was the ABS module. Kia service was unable to diagnose the light codes and had to work directly with kia over a period of several days to diagnose the vehicle the first time this occurred. It was replaced 1 year and 20 days ago by a kia dealership and failed again today. Kia service is not able to tell us if the ABS module should fail repeatedly or what would cause it to fail repeatedly.

On the 23 of february I noticed all the lights on in dash, check engine, ESC, brake light ect. Was not able to put the car in park to shut it off. I did notice when driving, coming to a complete stop applying the brake, all the lights go off except the check engine light and it also acknowledge what gear I was in,therefore I was able to put the car into park and shut down the engine. Multiple times I have to unlock the shift manually. Took it to the dealership and was told it was the ABS module needing replaced.. I don't believe I should be paying 2000 for a part that I don't believe it needs. I believe it is the brake light stop switch which was replaced after a recall. This should be again recalled as a default, if it is the ABS module, then it should be recalled as well, this is a safety issue as much as this is happening. Im very frustrated with all we have to go through to get a solid answerer . And would appreciate a reply.

While driving at 60 miles an hour suddenly ABS,vehicle stability icon,break icon,engine icon,cruise control turned on and speedometer failed and showed speed of zero while I am still going at same speed of 60. Few seconds later all icons disappeared as I prepared to stop so I kept driving till destination. Once car was turned on again at destination, above icons came on, had car towed to kia dealership. Main electronic control module failed and was replaced without charge by kia. Not clear what might have caused total failure of main ECM.
