Noticed that i had a brake light out on the passenger side,replaced it with proper bulb 1157.A double filament bulb. It appears that is also the tail light? Checked light and it worked but later realized that when i pressed the brake pedal the brake light was out.The next day noticed the driver tail light was out and replaced it but later realized the brake light didnt work,as well as my cruise control stopped working at the same time.Went to an auto care store they replaced both of the lightsand again tail lights worked but when i pressed brake pedal no lights. Checked and replaced the fuse just to be sure and at this point i got on the internet and seen 285 complaints with the same problem and the majority of them said there cruise control had stopped working as well as the sportage model and the kia soul.Most suggestions said replace the brake switch. I also checked for faulty wiring and that has not appeared to be the problem and mechanics 90 % of the time were unable to resolve the issue. Why has there not been a recall or some solution to this problem researched by kia mechanics? Im still waiting for the answer and i suspect many other people are too!!!!!!Thank you very much and ihope you will be able to solve this or issue a recall on the brake switch? Or the cruise control sensor maybe idk.

The harmonic balancer mounting bolt sheared and stripped the threads in the crankshaft of my 2005 kia serento. The mechanic had my car for 3 months trying to fix this problem. This is evidently a design issue and should have a recall issued. This problem cost me a lot of money to fix. (the car was in motion when the harmonic balancer fell off) my wife struggle to get the car home due to lost of belts.
