Beginning in early august 2014, the esc and check engine light would illuminate while driving down the road. The vehicle accelerator stops working and the vehicle goes into limp mode. We are unable to get more than 40 mph out of it and on several occasions, nearly caused an accident when other vehicles would come up from behind very suddenly. We were fortunate that we were in an area where we could get off the road…

Esc and check engine light illuminated. Took vehicle to dealer for repairs. Dealer service dept stated that brake light switch was at fault, but that it had been previously replaced in mar 2010 under a recall campaign. After replacing switch this time, dealer service adviser stated that switch appeared to be original, but that i would still have to pay for parts and labor ($129.86). I paid but protested. I have…

Part was already replaced on a mandatory recall. Now the replacements for the recall are failing. Kia will not stand behind the repair costs, this means many people will be driving with out brake lights. I am on my third switch- the part should easily out live the car! I am sure they replaced it with the same exact part thinking most people would be out of the vehicle by the time it failed again. I am sure this is…

Sunday morning, i was driving my vehicle at a speed of less than 45 mph. The "check engine" light and "esc off" light came on simultaneously. At the same time, my vehicle lost power and would not change out of 2nd gear. I pulled into a nearby parking lot, turned off the vehicle, and waited for one minute. I restarted the vehicle and it cranked just fine. I pulled out of the parking lot and went no more than 30 yards…

In february of 2012 i took my 2007 kia sorento into the local kia dealership because my "esc off" light kept coming on when i would make a right hand turn. The steering sounded like it was groaning as i was in these turns. When they read the code it came up as "p1739 encode fault", which on my paperwork states can signal a communication error. Further inspection showed that the transfer case motor was seizing up and…

Luckily, the other vehicles…

I am an owner of a 07 kia sorento ex. A few months ago i noticed the "esc off" light would illuminate at random instances and would not turn off until the vehicle's engine was turned off and then restarted again. This issue is of concern to myself as well as other kia owners i have come across. Reason being, when the "esc off" light engages and stays on, the vehicle loses power while driving. I have had two separate…
