I exported my kia soul 2010 to germany due to military movement order. As the car is now registered in germany; I did not get any notifications from kia us about the recall sc098am regarding a problem with the brake light switch, rated as a safety issue. My german car dealer is trying to help me get the brake light switch changed, but is unable to get the necessary information from kia. Is there a possibility to assist me in getting the necessary work from a safety recall done in germany? Thank you for your help

On two separate occasions, I have experienced unintended acceleration, once when the cruise was on and once when it wasn't. The kia soul would not respond to braking or slow down to less than 20 MPH. Luckily I was on the interstate or four lane both times and had time to get over on the berm and put car in neutral and then park and then turn off immediately. I tried to restart and the engine revved up to 7,000 in park. I let car sit for about 15 minutes...first time when I tried to restart it seemed to be okay. I drove it for about a month before second occurrence. This time car would not reset and when trying to restart, engine was revving to 7,000 RPM in park. I told all this to my local dealership. They ran diagnostic but found nothing wrong...I am scared to drive it and after some research, looks like there have been numerous people experiencing the same issues.

As I was driving north on I-95 it had started to rain. I was in the left lane of a two lane highway going 60 MPH in a 70 MPH zone when an 18 wheeler went by me going 85 MPH or more. It pushed water on the road over into my lane and I felt my wheels begin to move. I let off the gas and gripped the wheel. My ESC light never turned on. I hydroplaned from my lane into the right lane then back into my lane and off the road. The wheels locked about 20 feet off the road and the car tipped on the passenger side and hit a tree. I had my seatbelt on as I sat and dialed 911. My windshield was spiderwebbed, my hood of the car was up, and all my belongings were thrown on the right side of the car. I was wearing my prescription glasses and a headband and with the force of the hit, both were thrown off my face. As I sat in the car on the phone with 911 the car began to catch fire. I unbuckled my seatbelt and got out the door behind the driver. When I got out I realized not one air bag in my vehicle went off. Not even the side ones on the passenger side.

The stop lamp switch did not function properly, despite this exact part being recalled back in 2013. The stop lamps are not illuminated when brakes are engaged.

I was notified by another driver that none of my brake lights were lighting up when I braked. I immediately took my kia soul to the dealership and they found a faulty brake switch. This was the same faulty brake switch that was subject to a recall in 2013. This means that the replaced new brake switch is also faulty after less than 2 years of driving. It is a worry to me that kia could be replacing a faulty recalled part with another faulty part, especially one that has major safety implications. I was also required to pay for this repair and this also seems unfair given the history of the particular part.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 kia soul. The contact stated that the middle rear seat belt retractor failed and the brakes made a noise when depressed, causing the brakes not to engage at a normal stopping distance. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times for the failures however, the dealer did nor perform a diagnostic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,000 and the current mileage 95,000.
