Consumer Description

I OWN A 2007 KIA SORENTO. RECENTLY, MY CHECK ENGINE AND ESC OFF LIGHTS BECAME ILLUMINATED ON MY DASHBOARD. I NOTICED THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT ILLUMINATING WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. AFTER LOOKING UP MY CAR MAKE AND MODEL ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE, I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MY MODEL YEAR SORENTO FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V114000/KIA SERVICE CAMPAIGN SC098). I TOOK THE CARTO MY LOCAL KIA DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME I WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL AS MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. AS SUCH, I HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND WITHOUT FUNCTIONAL BRAKE LAMPS UNTIL I GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED--INCREASING MY CHANCES OF BEING REAR-ENDED. I TRAVEL CONSTANTLY FOR WORK SO I DO NOT HAVE THE LUXURY OF NOT DRIVING. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND RESOLVED.
