Description of the problem | Brake lights are on and will not turn off. When the plunger on the brake light switch is moved it will go out and on and sometimes it will blink. It doesn't matter if the vehichle is in motion or still. There is a recall on 2014 kia fortes and 2015 kia suvs for faulty brake light switches. The part number is the same, so shouldn't the recall cover my 2015 forte as well? |
