KIA SPORTAGE 2007 car safety problem was reported on Jan 21, 2012.KIA SPORTAGE 2007, manufactured by KIA MOTORS CORPORATION had a problem with ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL . the esc (electronic stability control) light in my car is illuminating without depressing the button and the brake lights do not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed. i have replaced the brake bulbs (all other tail lamps work...blinkers, flashers & back-up lights). i looked up on-line and found that kia had issued a recall "exterior lighting: brake lights: switch" announced on 4/17/2009 for this very thing. i contacted kia motors directly to see if they would help. the responded absolutely not, it was my problem because it is not on the recall. i would have to incur the expense. how do i know once it's fixed it won't happen again. there seems to be multiple safety concerns: 1) driving with no brake lights and being unaware; 2) the esc malfunction causes the cruise control to fail/not shut of when you press the brake. i am concerned that peoples safety is at risk. *tr.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):KNDJE723277.

Kia Sportage 2007 Steering Review #10644855

KIA SPORTAGE 2007 car safety problem was reported on Oct 27, 2012.KIA SPORTAGE 2007, manufactured by Kia Motors America had a problem with STEERING . when driving through a puddle of standing water in october 2012, a 'splash' of water entered the engine compartment caused the engine in my 2007 kia sportage to stall, resulting in the loss of power assist to both steering and brakes. this occurred several times in 2012 and 2013. but, in 2014, it has happened much more often. enough to force me to take my sportage into a kia dealership to see if they could diagnose the problem. they tried to recreate the problem using a hose, since they did not wish to have their employees try to drive it in actual rain. they were not successful in making the car stall. therefore, i was told that there is no problem with the engine. recently, i have learned that the ignition coil is what is getting wet and stalling the car. if kia is willing to replace the ignition coil, it does not solve my problem. the ignition coil will still be in a vulnerable place under my car. i would expect the same to happen in the future even with a new ignition coil. i cannot have my car stall out on a major highway in the rain while going 70 miles an hour. it is an accident waiting to happen. i refuse to endanger myself and my family, as well as others on the road, with a problem that kia is aware of. unfortunately, i do not have another vehicle at my disposal. looking at information on the internet, this is a known problem that kia has not done anything but recall and replace the ignition coil. my mechanic was able to find several web sites mentioning this defect. the dealership said that they checked their databases and did not find any such problems/recalls about stalling or ignition coils. loss of braking and steering is a major safety issue. do i need to wait for injury or death to get a resolution?.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 69000 miles. Kia Sportage 2007 problem was reported in CARY, NC. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 35 mph.
