NHTSA Complaint #10749690 — 2010 KIA SOUL

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.
