I went in to the burlington, wa kia dealership for this recall fix. And after waiting an hour they tell me they don't have the right part. It's now been about a month later and I'm still waiting to hear when the part will be available. I don't think this is ok for a safety issue.

I was driving on the highway when my steering wheel became really stiff like I lost power steering. I looked at my dash and had a check engine light, oil light, ABS light, and ESC off light illuminated. I pressed the gas to try to switch lanes as I was in the far left lane and needed to reach the shoulder to figure out what was going on, and the car would not accelerate. I turned my flashers on and was luckily able to make it to the shoulder without causing an accident. When I was on the shoulder I turned the key off and then back on. The check engine light and oil light went away, but the ABS light and the ESC light remained on. I started to drive back towards my house and felt the car idling roughly when at a stop. At home my husband disconnected the battery for a few minutes which solved the rough idling issue but the ABS and ESC lights are still on. I am now scared to drive my daughter to school and have the car shift off again. I have read similar reviews about this vehicle. Something needs to be done by kia to solve this. They recalled some vehicles for this issue but mine is not listed and clearly needs to be!

I received a manufacturer recall notice about possible fires due to braking circuits in the early spring, but the dealership knew nothing about it. The car was parked outside as suggested. I received a second notice at the end of june. The SUV was serviced 7/14/20 for a recall on the braking circuit. On 8/22/20 a beautifully clear saturday, I was driving home from a neighboring community on a paved country road. I noticed that the ESC off indicator light displayed on the dashboard. I stopped to look in the manual to see if the car was driveable. I parked my car in the garage after arriving home and noticed that tail lights/brake lights remained on even with the engine turned off. Because of two prior manufacturer warnings about fire with the electrical system, I parked the car outside away from the house as recommended. I called the kia dealership at 4:30 that day and arranged with cameron to drop the SUV off on sunday. On sunday, my neighbor helped jump start my car and he fooled around under the dash to turn the brake lights off. He said to tell the dealership that the wires were warm which I did. I included a list of concerns/facts with my key in the drop off box. On monday, 8/24/20 cameron, the service agent, said that the braking circuit "was fried" . The repair cost of $2,516.07 would include the electrical circuit and all wires. The completed work order bill said that the hydraulic modul was replaced, the switch assembly, and hecu,

I just received a recall on my kia sorento, it says it is due to a electrical anti lock brake system. And followed by this letter my light does stay on for this part and other lights are on too do to this. I'm scared to death to drive this kia now. I think for this kind of problem, they should recall the entire vehicle. And give me a brand new kia sorrento. Because this is life or death,and this is the only vehicle I have to take care of my daughter. To school and doctor, or what ever her needs and mine are. I am a single mother on a fixed income and I'm very scared for mine and my child's life or who rides with us. So I think kia dealership should take my kia that's recalled and give me a new one for that. I travel alot everyday and I need a dependable vehicle and shouldn't have to worry about my family's safety for using my kia.
