2009 Kia Sportage Electronic Stability Control Esc Problems

THIS IS COMPLAINT 2 OF 2. THE OTHER COMPLAINT IS IN THE CATEGORY "AIR BAGS". WILL DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL "ESC" OFF INDICATOR LAMP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON. AFTER SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF THE INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD GO OFF, ONLY TO COME ON AGAIN AFTER DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE TECHNICIAN MADE THE FOLLOWING COMMENT: "ESC LIGHT IS ON BECAUSE OF THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH IS SHORTING OUT INSIDE THE SWITCH." I EXPLAINED TO THE DEALER THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WAS REPLACED BY THEM AS PART OF A RECALL ON 9/7/13, AND THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A NEW SWITCH. THE DEALER HAD TO CONTACT KIA DIRECTLY, AND KIA AGREED TO REPLACE THE SWITCH FOR THE SECOND TIME. I NOW WORRY ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE AND AS TO WHY THE REPLACEMENT SWITCH FAILED.

LAST SUMMER STOP LIGHT SWITCH WAS REPLACED PER RECALL. DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT ABOUT 65MPH WHEN THE ESC LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR ENGINE STARTED LOSING POWER DOWN TO 20MPH. ACCELERATOR DIDN'T WORK. I WAS ONLY A FEW MILES FROM HOME. MADE IT HOME. NEXT DAY ESC OFF LIGHT OFF. DID CALL KIA DEALERSHIP - NO HELP. NEXT DAY, DROVE 30MPH FOR ABOUT 1/2 MILE ESC OFF LIGHT CAME ON ON, LOST ENGINE POWER, MADE IT 1/2 MILE TO WORK. PUSHED ESC BUTTON. LATER THAT DAY, ESC OFF LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WERE OFF. DROVE 1 MILE DOWN A ROAD 50MPH WHEN THE ESC LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR ENGINE STARTED LOSING POWER DOWN TO 20MPH. ACCELERATOR DIDN'T WORK. DROVE 20MPH FOR ABOUT 1/2 MILE. MADE IT HOME. DANGEROUS SITUATION - DRIVING 60+ AND ESC OFF LIGHT ON AND CAR IMMEDIATELY DE-ACCELERATES. COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED.
