Consumer Description

I READ ABOUT RECALL ON 2007 KIA AMANTI AND THE STOP LAMP SWITCH. IT SAID COULD MAKE IT HARD SHIFT FROM PARK TO GEARS. I OWN A 2005 KIA AMANTI AND YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL HOURS WITH NO PROBLEMS, I STARTED IT OUT IN REVERSE IT WAS A SEMI HARD SHIFT THEN PUT INTO DRIVE AND IT WAS A EXTREMELY HARD SHIFT. AS WELL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I ALSO READ ABOUT A SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT CAN BE DONE BUT CAN NOT FIND HOW TO PREFORM THE UPDATE.
