Asked by jfoley4 Dec 31, 2014 at 06:27 PM about the 2011 Kia Sorento EX V6

Question type: General

My brake lights stay on after car is turned off.  I have to restart the car and shut if off for the brake lights to go off.  It has happened twice since KIA did a recall replacement of the brake switch
