Consumer Description

2007 KIA SORENTO...ESC LIGHT COMES ON, THEREBY DISABLING THE CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION. CONSEQUENTLY, THE VEHICLE GOES INTO "LIMP" MODE, MEANING YOU DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND YOU HAVE NO POWER. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING REPEATEDLY OVER THE LAST YEAR. IT HAS OCCUR AT LOW SPEEDS AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS. RECENTLY, IT OCCURRED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, EXPOSING THE VEHICLE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. LUCKILY, THE OTHER VEHICLES WERE ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP. EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS, WE HAVE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, PUT IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF. EVEN THEN, IT WILL HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE SAME TRIP. *TR
