Headlight Switch problems of the 2014 Kia Motor Forte

Headlights and interior lights flickering/going out while the car is in motion or stationary on city streets and highways. Sometimes they don't come back on unless I tinker with the headlight control switch. It is a major safety concern seeing as how I drive daily in the dark to work.

While driving at night, my headlights would go completely out. Once I switch them on again, they would go out once again. This would take place every couple of minutes and is very dangerous. I took my car into the dealership and was told that they knew exactly the issue because they repaired quite a few cars with the same issue. The total cost to repair this issue was $238. This is very dangerous and should be placed on the recall list.

Head lights and inside dash light will flicker on and off while driving. If the headlight switch is left in the auto position while parked and the keys removed, the headlights will come on by them self sometime in the night and drain the battery. When trying to turn on the high beams, the dash board and headlights will flicker and go off. This has happened multiple times over the last year.
