NHTSA Complaint #11150124 — 2014 KIA SORENTO

I HAVE A 2014 LX WITH NOTHING SPECIAL OTHER THAN HEATED FRONT SEATS. REGULAR IGNITION, 6CYL WITH ALMOST 148K MILES. ISSUE 1- AT APPROX 100K MY DASH STARTED LIGHTING UP WITH ABS, E-BRAKE, TRAC, AND TPS LIGHTS. EBRAKE AND TPS WERE INTERMITTENT AND ONLY CAME ON AFTER IT RAINED IT SEEMED. AFTER PLUGGING IT UP AND GETTING NO CODES I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER JUNE 2017 AND THEY INFORMED ME IT WAS NO BIG DEAL BUT IT WAS PART OF A RECALL FOR A SENSOR. HOWEVER, KIA HAD NOT PROVIDED THEM WITH THE NECESSARY TOOLS TO FIX IT. IT'S NOW AUGUST 2018 AND I AM STILL WAITING. ISSUE 2- AT APPROX 130K MILES MY STEERING CONTROLS FOR BLUETOOTH AND RADIO STOPPED WORKING. THE RADIO ITSELF WORKS, BUT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SEEK OR ADJUST VOLUME WITH STEERING CONTROLS THE VOICE COMMAND POPS UP. ISSUE 3- AT APPROX 145K CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. I CAN TURN IT ON AND SET SPEED, BUT IN LESS THAN A MILE IT DISENGAGES. I HAVE FOUND IF I TURN OFF THE ECO IT WORKS AS IT SHOULD. ISSUE 4 I FOUND TODAY. AFTER GETTING A MESSAGE FROM A RANDOM STRANGER THROUGH MY ADVERTISED BUSINESS ON THE BACK WINDOW I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAVE NO BRAKE LIGHTS EXCEPT FOR THE ONE ON TOP (THIRD). I JUST REPLACED THEM IN JULY AFTER A RANDOM STRANGER TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE OUT. WHEN I GOT THE MESSAGE (AFTER MAKING MY 60 MILE COMMUTE TO WORK) I GRABBED A COWORKER TO COME OUT AND TROUBLESHOOT WITH ME. WE CHECKED FUSES AND THEY ARE FINE. THIRD LIGHT WORKS, TAIL LIGHTS WORK, TURN SIGNALS AND BACKUP LIGHTS WORK. WE TOOK APART THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY AND PULLED THE BULBS TO CHECK THEM AND THE BULBS ARE STILL INTACT (FILAMENT STILL COMPLETELY INTACT) BUT THE BULBS ARE CHARRED BLACK AND THE HARNESS SOCKET APPEARS TO HAVE GOTTEN EXTREMELY HOT. ALSO THE BOTTOM OF THE BULB IS GLOSSY LIKE IT MELTED.
