2009 KIA SEDONA Electronic Stability Control Esc Problems

THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURNED ON AND CANNOT BE TURNED OFF EXCEPT FOR DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY. THEY ARE ON ALL OF THE TIME WHILE DRIVING AND DRIVERS CANNOT TELL WHEN I APPLY MY BRAKES. THEY ARE ON AFTER I POWER OFF THE VEHICLE AND PARK AND LOCK THE SEDONA. THE ESC OFF LIGHT WAS ALSO ILLUMINATED WHEN I STARTED THE CAR. THE VEHICLE HAS 25,000 MILES AND IS KEPT IN NAPLES, FLORIDA.

ABS AND ESC OFF LIGHT CAME ON LAST WEEK AND SINCE I HAVE HAD NO ABS OR STABILITY CONTROL. CAUSED ME TO SPIN OUT ON ICY INTERSTATE

VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED IN 2013 BUT BY 2014 WAS ACTING UP AGAIN. SAME PROBLEM AS INITIAL REPAIR. A RECALL REPAIR THAT GOES BAD IN WITHIN 20,000 MILES IS NOT A GOOD REPAIR. WHEN ASKED TO REPAIR IT AGAIN KIA PUT IN THE WRONG PART I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK A 3RD TIME TO GET IT FIXED. THE TOTAL COST TO MY REPAIR WAS $679.45. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT FROM PARK INTO DRIVE AND THE ESC LIGHT WOULD GO ON,IT TOOK MULTIPLE TRIES TO GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK IN ORDER TO DRIVE IT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL: THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED TO REACT TO THE GAS PEDAL, LIKE MOTOR RPM FAIL, USUALLY ITS IDLE VALVE OR SPEED CONTROL. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE SEDONA 2009 HAPPENED AS I WAS TRYING TO SPEED UP WHILE ENTERING THE TRAFFIC ON A HIGHWAY, AND IT CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION, IT LOOK LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH KIA SEDONA VEHICLES, THERE A FEW REFERENCE ON THE INTERNET FOR EXAMPLE SEE THIS: HTTP//WWW.KIA-FORUMS-COM/KIA-CARNIVAL-SEDONA-SUDDENLY LOSS-ACCELERATOR-RESPONSE.HTML.TR.

HAVE HAD VEHICLE BACK INTO DEALER 5 TIMES, SINCE FEB 11 FIRST CHECK ENGINE AND ESC LIGHT ON AND VAN WOULD NOT GO PUSH DOWN ON GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING HAD IT TOWED IN. THEY REPROGRAMMED AND THEN FEB24TH ESC LIGHT ON AGAIN. WENT BACK IN THEY REPLACED STEERING ANGLER SENSOR. VAN STILL NOT RUNNING RIGHT DOWN SHIFTS ON ITS OWN. TOOK BACK THEY SAID FOUND NO PROBLEM TO HAVE TRANS FLUID CHANGED SO I DID AND IT STILL HAPPENED. THEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE VAN S BRAKES LOCK UP AND THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND ALMOST WENT THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. CALLED DEALER NEXT DAY THEY SAID I COULD NOT GET AN APPT UNTIL OCT6 ALMOST A MONTH AWAY. I CALLED BACK AND ASKED IF IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND HE SAID NO I COULD BRING IN AND THEY WOULD GET TO WHEN EVER THEY GET A CHANCE,...

MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED TO REACT TO THE GAS PEDAL, MOTOR RPM FELL DOWN TO ~1000 RPM - USUALLY ITS IDLE VALUE. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AS I WAS TRYING TO SPEED UP WHILE ENTERING THE TRAFFIC ON A HIGHWAY, AND IT CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT LOOKS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH KIA SEDONA VEHICLES, I WAS ABLE TO FIND QUITE A FEW REFERENCES ON THE INTERNET, FOR EXAMPLE SEE THIS: HTTP://WWW.KIA-FORUMS.COM/KIA-CARNIVAL-SEDONA-2006/61112-SUDDEN-LOSS-ACCELERATOR-RESPONSE.HTML. *TR
