Description of the problem | While driving my check brake light will come on intermittently. Seems to happen more frequently when its warm outside. The traction control light always comes on at the same time. The brake light will go off after the car is turned off and restarted, the traction light will stay on for awhile. Sometimes it will go off after a few miles, others it takes a day to go off. Only difference i can see while driving is that before it comes on the brakes will grab harder than usual. The lights only come on when the car is in motion or immediately after coming to a stop. Never when in park. This started a few days after i purchased the car. I've had the car at the kia dealership many times for this issue and they have never fixed the problem. |
