Warnings problem #1

While I was drive these warning lights came on as you in the picture there are no signs of a crash. I have took my car in for service at kia of bradley for them to reset my system on 7/01/2025 and they have came back on and they would not go off. I feel like this is a recall on my kia Optima 2019.

Rearview System Braking problem #2

My 2019 kia Optima with 116,021 odometer on mileage. Stop in the middle of high volume traffic , because of software issues , I suspect . All forward collision warning detection , also rear collision warning alerted on dashboard!!! which causes my car to stop in the middle of traffic completely shut down. I was able to get my vehicle towed to kia west dealership located in lithia springs GA . I requested a diagnostic test and was informed by my service advisor and service manager that my vehicle has a burned out wire located in the left right rear sensors radar assembly, bumper area . Which will eventually have caused a fire or actually already did, I asked how did it happen? I was told it just simply burnt out. !!!! I was told the assembly box junction box needed to be replaced, which I agreed at that moment in order to diagnose the vehicle. Second the electrical problem was revealed, which is the big problem now currently for 1 , the vehicle is not safe for a midsize sedan on public roads and highways the if this make and model car causes random fires. Secondly the parts very expensive and suspicious. I’m currently still doing my investigation. Unfortunately I had to agree for the sensors to be replaced and fixed because personal reasons I need my vehicle to get back-and-forth to work, etc. . I’ve been in contact consumer regional services, no one is able to find a recall with my VIN number the car never been in a accident ever. I have a picture of the hazardous burned out wire the technician showed me as well. As they claimed randomly caught fire.
