| Hello, i have a 2007 kia rondo lx 4 cylinder. from the day of the purchase the right front tire sometimes makes noises and during the rain the noise is more apparent. i took the vehicle to the dealer three times for this reason and they could not figure out what the issue was. also once the esc light was blinking and i took the car to the dealer again and they were unable to find the problem. the esc sensor is going to be replaced next week. what concerns me is that i was informed that the brake lights may not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed. last year my car was hit from the back twice while it was at a stop position. in the second accident it was a hit and run, i was in a traffic on a highway and the other driver hit my car from the back. he screamed from his window check your lights, now i understand that this accident could have been the result of the brake lights not working causing another vehicle to hit me. i was not able to find the driver and was forced to pay for the repairs myself. it cost me $1235.30, out of which $190.25 was used to order a back bumper and $10.68 for side bracket and $19.37 for right guard bracket and i paid to the zoom auto body shop(located at 240 n. hill avenue, pasadena, ca 91106) $915.11. the first accident was similar and now i am wondering whether my vehicle's non-functioning brake light could have been the cause as well. that accident cost me $2461, lucky the other vehicle's owner's insurance paid for that. both cases are still open. i was told to contact you, hopefully, you can assist me somehow. thank you for your time. *tr updated 02/04/10.*jb | |||
