Kia is joining its affiliate Hyundai in recalling thousands of vehicles in the U.S. because water can get into a brake computer, cause an electrical short and possibly a fire.

The Kia recall covers nearly 229,000 Sedona minivans from the 2006 through 2010 model years. Also covered are Sorento SUVs from 2007 through 2009. Kia is telling owners to park their vehicles outside and away from structures and other vehicles until the problem can be fixed.

Dealers will install a relay in the main electrical junction box to stop power from going to the brake computer when the engine is off. The recall is expected to start April 10. The agency granted a petition seeking the investigations by the non-profit Center for Auto Safety, a consumer advocacy group.

Jesse Kline: Bernie’s problems with Israel are now a problem for DemocratsThe Vermont senator hasn’t made much effort to distance himself from those anti-Semites who have infected the Democratic party with their virulent hate The radical left of today has no fear of blowback for their disdain for Israel and their support of puppet regimes of Hamas Terrorists. It reflects and caters to the sheer ignorance of their voters. I wish the left would stop supporting the brutal slaughter of minorities in the middle east.

No one on the radio can find a motive for the shootings. When a Jewish store owner was shot dead in the U.S. a motive was quickly established: Jews were being targeted. These r Middle Eastern ppl killed in 2 stores. The motive is clear. Objectivity please. Diversity is their strength.
