Problems with 2008 Kia Rondo EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Vehicle was taken to premiere kia of kenner, and also contacted kca/irvine 7:40am call; issue car sputters when gas pedal applied; car does not start after fueling, requires multiple starts; car stalled twice on hwy nov. 20, 2014 issues began. kia dealer representative refused service of nhtsa campaign recall # 08v459000 recall date sept. 17, 2008, subsequently contacted kia consumer affairs in irvine, ca. call center the phone call outcome csr stated would contact the local district manager for approval of recall would expedite process, csr stated would contact local dm within two hours and get back; received denial letter in mail. recalls shows 6,680 ?potential units affected for this recall 08v459000 fuel pump sub assembly, whereas campaign recall # 12v014000 shows 145,755 units affected for ?airbag clock spring assembly? and recall # 13v114000 shows 623,658 units affected for ?stop lamp switch may function intermittently.? on the surface seems kia is only including full recalls for vehicles only if it poses the least financial harm to the corporate company profit as shown in the number of recalls of ?easy to fix? issues but those such as the fuel pump assembly have the least amount of issued recalls representing a negligible amount of total vehicles. is kia sacrificing safety for profit with these corporate decisions? kia has denied a recall of the same issues that my vehicle is experiencing as stated in the recall bulletin: ?the fuel pump may not supply enough fuel to the engine, causing hard starting, engine hesitation, or other potential impairment. unusually severe hesitation or other impairment could expose the driver to the risk of a crash. dealers will replace the fuel pump sub-assembly with an updated part.? kia has neglected to resolve faulty issue. please advise kia to rectify the situation by repairing the faulty fuel pump assembly. *tr

The brake lights on my 2008 kia rondo have not been working consistently. i have been told by several individuals who were driving behind me in the past few days that my brake lights are "out". however, they did work when i checked at one point after the warning and then another driver told me the same thing. i replaced the lights and now they do not work at all. i have checked the fuses and the fuses have not blown. i have seen a "recall" for an earlier year kia. the same thing is happening to my kia. my kia should be included in the "recall". this could cause a serious crash. i have no idea if the lights will work or not. right now, they do not. kia has too, too many problems with its vehicles to even argue against my point. this is far from the only dangerous issue that i have with my kia. at this point, i am simply fed up. i called kia motors and spoke to a customer service representative and asked how to make a formal complaint because i received two "voluntary service campaign" notices; one for the air bag and one for the rear cross-member of the car. i am facing problem after problem with this car. the other issues are surging of the car without pressing on the gas and even while pressing on the brake and the air conditioner failing right after the warranty ended. kia needs to be reprimanded and forced to fix these cars. additionally, it is a serious conflict of interest to have kia customer service employees responsible for sending notifications of problems with kia cars to the nhsta. who oversees that this is done honestly by the car companies?

Headlights shine at a short angle down to the road with a distinct horizon line causing a very short visibility distance for night driving. the issue is not as bad in city driving where there is ambient light or street lights, but in the country, it is dangerous with hills, curves, and creatures of the night. driving with lights on high-beam helps, but interferes with visibility of on-coming drivers. *tr
