This was interesting and I thought I'd share this because it was just going to be a quick video on the repair on the switch itself, because the rubber gets old and cracks causing the primary issue, but what was more interesting, is due to the integration of all of the systems of the car, how many other systems become effected.
Initially thinking that a light was left on, and there were other issues the car was charged up and information was gathered as to this acceleration issue. We weren't aware at the time of the brake light issue. It wasn't until the next day that when the car battery went flat that we had noticed the brake lights on in the garage which localized the problem to the switch. That brought us to this repair video. What was interesting was that the repair of this switch cleared all of the other issues that were being experienced which were:
Battery drain: Obvious
Brake light issue: Obvious
TCS Light off: Surprising
Accelerator cutout problem Very surprising
Either way, these persistent issues were gone, and yes the harnesses were checked on the pedal yesterday before any work was done here and did not help those issues.
Using a fir clip was satisfactory and ensured that this will never break again. It seems like a good repair.

Hey man, I hope you realize the amount of relief you have given thousands of people off of this issue. I myself was worried sick about what I was going to have to do and pay to fix my otherwise great car (2013 Kia Forte Koup.) I was having transmission issues, car was vibrating, cruise control wasn’t working, and tail lights were staying on. I ran across this video after a quick google search and sure enough found some broken plastic pieces on my floor mat. Pulled one of the plastic screws from my trunk cover threw it in there and completely solved my issue. I am blown away. A piece of plastic was the cause of my worry for thousands of dollars in repairs. I think I can speak for myself and everyone else you have a helped when I say THANK YOU!

second this comment! such a relief, and right before the holidays no less. I had the phantom brake lights on and a random traction control light that came and went in 5 minutes, but when it lurched and the abs was tripping in the form of high rpm and lurching between 45 and 60 one morning I was in full panic mode. I love my 2012 Kia Optima. Especially that it is paid off. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thank you!! Do you have a venmo, patreon, paypal??

Thank you for being a stand-up person giving all of us out here the 411 on what's going on with the Kia optima. Your fix worked like a charm, I went to Lowe's bought a $0.80 body panel screw, followed your instructions and now traction control light is out my acceleration issues have gone away and best of all my tail lights and center brake light in the rear window are out when I let go of the brake pedal.

I had the exact same issue with my 2012 Optima. Took me a few days to narrow it down to this. I then called the dealership and found out this was a part for which Kia extended their warranty. They fixed this along with two other recalls that were on the list (Airbag and ECU fixes). @@retrotechandelectronics

I was skeptical at first bc the fix looked too easy. Your fix actually worked like a charm and only took 2 minutes. I used a fir clip that held my cover underneath the car. I clipped off half of it so I didn't have to loosen the brake part. The brake light went away and had no issues with my rpm going on idle during drive. Thanks!

@MikeHammer1
@MikeHammer1 6 месяцев назад
I was experiencing all of the problems described in the video. Three days ago after I parked my car and shut it down, I noticed that the brake lights didn't turn off. At first I thought I left my marker lights on. Tapping the brake pedal fixed the problem, but then again this morning they were on again and I am fairly certain that they weren't when I parked the car. At the time, I was already having the TC light turn on randomly and a little later, the hesitation started, all within the last month. When I went to do the repair, the rubber bumper part was still intact, but with a fairly deep dent right where the brake switch pressed on it. I could have just rotated the bumper about 45 degrees, but decided, since I was already there and I had the part, to replace it. I haven't taken it for a drive yet, so fingers crossed that this solved the other problems too. Thanks a bunch for this video. BTW, the repair took all of 10 minutes to do and most of that was gathering the tools. KIA must have used the same third-party manufacturer for this defective part that they used for the cross-piece that fails after a few years in the steering column universal joint. I had that repair done under a TSB by KIA. Their mechanic at Gateway in NJ was a joke. He didn't properly reconnect the harness in the steering column and they tried to return it to me without even checking for proper operation. A bunch of the lights were stuck on and the turn-signals didn't work as I recall. I had to wait an additional hour while they fixed the mess they made. The funny thing is that that repair can be done without disassembly of the steering column.

Hey, man. You just saved me the cost of a new switch! I thought mine was faulty and ordered one and while I was looking through videos about hot to replace it, I came across your vid. I didn’t even need to all the steps with the clips and stuff. But, I worked out that I could just drop a bolt through that hole. So the head of the bolt pushes against the switch. Worked a treat!

Found your video recently. My car felt as if I was letting off my gas and wouldn’t accelerate even while I was driving. The next day I noticed my break lights were on in the early morning and when I left for work the same thing happened while pressing the accelerator pedal. Saw the video and bought those clips. The original rubber piece damn near fell apart when I touched it with minimal pressure. Replaced it and now it works as it should. Thank you!

This was exactly my problem. Cruise wouldn’t activate or would shut off on its own, EPB, Traction Control, Auto Hold annunciators on and brake lights staying on after shutdown. Car would decelerate on its own at times because obviously it thought the brakes were being applied. Works great now with your fix. Had a bunch of those clips on hand. Thank you for your video that I’m sure saved me a ton of money.

This fixed my issue. Zero cost solution. TCS light started coming on while on a road trip. Car would frequently not accelerate, especially while turning from a full stop, which is a particularly bad thing when pulling into traffic. The brake lights would not turn off either, even when car was off. After watching this video, the rubber gromet thing on the pedal was indeed trashed. I didn't have a fur clip (per video), but I did have a post-it note, which I folded up and taped to the brake pedal actuator, took a couple fold attempts to get it to be the right thickness. Problem solved! I'll replace the post-it with a better solution (fur clip as suggested) once I get home. Thanks guys!!

Thank you Sir 😊 for fixing the problem with my 2007 kia optima. The battery 🔋 was drained and my dashboard lights were lit up. On my kia, the brake sensor bracket has a nut for changing the distance from the plunger end to the stopper which fell apart like you said and one nut to secure it. I followed your instructions and was able to adjust the sensor and replace it with the panel screw. The light finally went off. I always felt Kias were kinda built on the cheap side, but going from metal bolts to Plastic clips is ridiculous. Irregardless, thank you for fixing my problem and helping others save a ton in avoiding the dealership.

Great stuff guys. Exact same thing happened to me. For some reason my sensor won't move after releasing the clip. I had to come back and watch this vid again to see if there was a trick to it as I didn't want to force it too hard and break it. Doesn't seem like a trick so I'll try again. Anyway, thanks again.

Thank you for your video. I just purchased a 2013 Optima and the very day I brought it home, the car would not turn off! I finally got it turned off and the next morning the brake lights were on. Now the battery is dead. Do you think the car not turning off and the brake lights coming on are two separate issues or possibly fixed with the repair you demonstrated? Thank you in advance.

OK, so my ESC light came on. My 2012 Kia Optima Turbo went into what I heard described as "crawl mode" and I made it back to my office. That night at home my neighbor came by to tell me my brake lights were on. I could not get them to turn off, so I disconnected the battery and went to sleep. Next day, I connected the battery and drove to work. Brake lights stayed on. Then I noticed all but the driver's electric windows refused to work. Got under my brake pedal and saw I still had some black plastic piece in place, but it seemed very loose and about to come loose. I think I have this issue, but what's with the rest of the ESC and windows electronics? Any ideas? Trying to know before I go to the dealer and get ripped off. Update: I inserted a plastic trim anchor into the brake pedal as shown in your video. ALL issues were IMMEDIATELY resolved. Thanks for your video. I felt empowered!

Thank you for the video. I have a 2012 optima. Was having the same issues with my car taillights turning on by themselves while car is off and also losing power on the highway while driving at high speed. My rubber piece was still intact but had a hole on the top of it. I used a thumb tack with a hard plastic semi round top. I just pressed the brake all the way down while car is on with one hand and pushed the needle part of the thumb tack into the brake pedal stopper so that it went all the way through the stopper into the hole where it is held in place. So far so good.

It was stupid uncomfortable getting upside down on the floorboard, and I’m sure my neighbors will find it odd that I’m screaming blasphemous slander at Kia in the middle of the night as I lay halfway in a car upside down, but, I have RU-vid, and I have you… too… you’re a top G for this one good sir.
