I’m having the exact same issues as the current recall on 2019 kia Fortes. Which is why I’m not sure why my car isn’t on the recall list. I have gone to the dealership for these exact issues with my car. Headlights not incorrectly going out as soon as they are replaced. Going to the dealership several times because of my left tire not knowing what the actual reason is. Looks like it could be the front left. Axle. Also, my carplay has been acting up, randomly going out and also displaying the wrong speed in the gps also glitching while driving not displaying the correct image.

Had phone charging and a gps system to travel ,directions. 3/4 of the way both stopped working 100%. Never were charged either. Then at the place needed to go ,overnight the battery must have died as the clock and radio were reset to 12:00 etc. . . The usb and round chargers still did not work. Battery was checked and was perfect. Do not know what caused all this mess. Terrible when needed it all. This happen when in motion but then stationary still nothing.

Problem began 2/14/2011 (purchase) and continues. There has been a problem with these “high frequency” sensors as noted on a sheet dated 9/22/08 provided by the kia engineer. These devices are prone to set off the high frequency sensors which gives me a false reading. With this being the case, then why are these high frequency sensors installed in vehicles? my sensors are like the little boy who cries wolf…. When they illuminate repeatedly on and off, I just ignore the light and wait until I turn off the car or wait it out…whichever turns off the light first. The sensors are not fully functional because since they are so sensitive to radio frequency waves as stated by the kia engineers, then NHTSA has the obligation to have kia remove and replace with sensors that are not sensitive (as similar to my Ford focus’ which illuminated and went off when air was put in the tire(s)). Otherwise, having malfunctioning sensors and under-inflation of tires can reduce vehicle safety, reduce tread life of tires and reduce fuel economy which defeats the main purpose of a sensor. From the 9/22/08 info sheet: “ pitstop: outside radio frequency (rf) affecting tpms operation kma has received several inquiries regarding the tpms light on with or without stored diagnostic trouble codes in memory. The following listed components/conditions may cause the control unit and wheel sensor communication to be interrupted and may cause multiple dtc’s. • some cell phone chargers • some laptop computers • exciter tool connected while driving the vehicle • some portable navigational devices (gps) • aftermarket rke, burglar alarm, remote start systems • power inverters, portable mp# players • ham radio equipment • high tension power lines and radio station towers • vehicle anti-theft locating devices • portable dvd players • incorrect instrument cluster – part application not correct”.
