2007 Kia Sedona: adaptive cruise control problems

Filed Jan 22, 2018 · Brakes, Driver assistance · 159,000 miles · CA

While parked the brake tail lights stay on; while driving the cruise control malfunctions, and ESC light indicator illuminates and stays on. It is the same problems as the recall the federal safety agency #13v114000 and the kia recall #sc098, but my VIN number apparently isn't listed as one that is affected, which it is! I have noticed it a couple of months ago, but now they all are getting worse. I did not know it was a recall problem.

While driving on the interstate with cruise control activated the vehcile experianced an uncommanded deceleration with no response to pressing the gas pedal. With no left hand medium to pull over to, this left only the right medium as an alternative. Navigating to the right without acceleration made this extreamly dangerous in miami traffic. Once on the medium the vehicle was turned off and restarted, reactivating the system. Dealer indicates the throttle position sensor is intermittanly defective causing the throttle to default to idle mode and deactivating throttle commands. I am of the opinion this is an unsafe condition and the throttle should default to a manual input if the sensor becomes discrepant.

First, the air bag light for driver stays on, then cruise control quit working, now the horn quit working. I took it to a garage and was told it was a faulty clock spring. I looked up and see that other models of kia's have been recalled for faulty clock springs; but not the sedona. I believe this model should also be recalled as it is a safety hazard not to have a working air bag and horn. I was told by two different garages that it will cost $350 to replace the clock spring. I cannot afford to fix this so I will drive with no horn or air bag. If I should be injured or die in a crash due to either of these items not working I have instructed my wife and children to sue kia for not recalling all the clock springs, when its obvious that more models have problems than what has been recalled.

I have been having an intermittent "non-start" issue with my car. I would turn the key and nothing. The lights would go on, radio would go on, but the car wouldn't do anything towards cranking and starting. No clicking noise, nothing. I would get out of the car open and close some doors and most of the time it would start. Also, I was driving on the highway when the ESC off light came on. Whenever I stopped it would go off until I got back on the highway again. I had my mechanic plug it in to see if any error codes show, but there was nothing. I checked online and found a recall for these exact issues tied to the stop lamp switch, but when I took the car to kia dealership they said they had fixed the recall a couple years earlier. I bought a new stop lamp switch myself, (genuine kia part, not generic,) and had it replaced again. (cheap part of and installation.) I then went on road trip and nothing was fixed. Esc off light was on nearly the whole time and I had a non-start during trip. There has to be another issue involved here. I live in new york city so I hardly ever am driving on highways, so road trips was only time I would see ESC off light and I rarely if ever use cruise control, so I don;t know if I would have the cruise control issue tied to this standard group of issues either.
