While driving down the road the headlights flicker and go out completely. I have to flip the turn signal switch or tap the column to get them to turn back on . It happens several times on my 32 mile trip home from work at night . It happens in motion or stationary. Mainly when I use a turn signal or hit a bump in the road .

In the last 1 1/2 years of ownership I have had many issues with lights going out. First both break lights went out and I replaced them. Then the driver's side headlight kept going in and out. The driver's side break light went out again so I replaced it again. Next the passenger side headlight went out completely and I replaced it. After that both headlights were fine. A few months later the driver's side headlight started going in and out again. I replaced it and it was fine. Then the passenger side break light went out. 7 weeks after I had both headlights replaced and in good working order the driver's side headlight went out. 4 days later the passenger side headlight went out.
This car has several issues which I have found other 2014 owners having the same issue as I do. The headlights and taillights take turns going out. I am to the point about every 5 weeks I am replacing a burned out light. One headlight will go out then I fix that. A few weeks later I will get pulled over for a taillight. Being out. One officer told me he was giving me a warning because his wife has the same issues with her lights going out. I will replace the taillight then a few weeks later the other headlight will go out then the other taillight will go out. I find myself always replacing a light. I've pulled up to many Forte owners to let them know a taillight was out and they all say "again" the lights are a major problem. Also my driver side window won't go all the way up. I have had the problem fixed then about 6 months later the same problem happened again where the window will go almost all the way up but it still leaves a little gap in the window for air to come inside which will cause your car to rock back and fourth from the air flow in and out. Its dangerous as it has even pushed me into the other lane from the air pressure coming through the opening in the window.
