Hi everyone, it's my first post to the forum. I own a 2011 Sportage SX AWD in Bright Silver and it's been having problems for the past 6 months. The brake warning light kept coming on while driving the car and the only way to turn it off was to stop and restart the car. Every time this reset the light. We brought it to the dealer around 3600 miles and they said it was an electrical thing and supposedly did something with the software. They checked all brake components and found nothing wrong with the brake system or the fluid levels. After that service everything seemed to be fine.
This Sunday (5 days ago) I turned on the car and the brake light was on again (it now has 7000 miles, and that was the 1 year anniversary of our ownership). I checked the parking brake and then moved the car a bit and everything seemed to be fine, but I had to restart the car for the light to go off. The fluid was fine and after that it didn't turn on again. Yesterday my mom drove the car and the light was on again.
Next, the steering wheel controls are now going wacky. While on the highway coming back after the brake light incident, the car started beeping and the Voice Commands came on- this happened three times and I just shut it off with the button on the wheel. I thought nothing of it... until I drove to the store Monday and then things got crazy. The volume up rocker on the steering wheel made the volume go down and the volume down on the wheel made the voice commands come on! I taped it on my iPhone and will post this soon.
I'm thinking there's some weird electrical stuff going on too because the car has been having trouble recognizing the key sporadically too. Thoughts? Thanks!!
