The recall began June 5, 2020. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC186.
Owner Complaints (2)
Your brake switch is sticking, which keeps your brake lights on even when you're not braking. Additionally, your Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system isn't working properly, causing your accelerator to stop responding and your cruise control to fail. You experienced a situation where your vehicle wouldn't accelerate above idle speed and had to shift into neutral to get moving again. The fix will likely involve replacing the brake switch and diagnosing the ESC system for electrical or sensor issues.

Your rear side doors occasionally won't unlock and are difficult to open. The dealership couldn't reproduce the problem when you brought it in earlier, but over the past 10 years, it's become more frequent and persistent. The issue likely involves the door locking mechanism or electrical components that control the rear door locks.
