A couple of days ago, air-bag warning light became on during driving. I tried to disconnect the battery but it won't go away. Nothing happened so far. No accident, no damage, and etc.
Head lights flicker on and off and then stays off. Forcing me to turn off and back on the lights manually with the switch to get them to come back on then repeat. . They turn of and I struggle to keep them on and I travel for work and allot of night time driving. Very frustrating and other drivers think I'm flashing them. Very unsafe and kia dealership would not fix it unless I pay them to fix it. My car has 23,000 miles at the moment problem started last year around 12,000 miles but age is past factory warranty. It does not matter if I'm driving or it's parked lights/wiring has a problem. This is a very serious safety issue that kia refuses to fix.
Whenever car is running would here a knocking or rattling sound,had too replace parking light bulbs three times in first year they burnt out and on three other occasions the check engine light would kick on and when I would get car to service center check engine light would go back out and they would want to charge me to run a diagnostic if nothing showed after they ran it also said my warranty wouldn't cover faulty ignition and door lock first my door locks started getting jammed and I assumed that maybe someone had tried to break into car but then my car was in repair shop on a unrelated issue my repair guy calls and tells me my ignition and key are stuck between acc and start and wouldn't come out or turn the rest of the way 0n or off also have had to pay for air filter replacement on car at six months old and the labor because it wasn't part of extended service plan the key then has been little tricky having to put in at a angle kinda and now its stuck again in between acc and start again so repair guy did some searching and found that sometimes if you diconect the neg bat cable it will release the ignition and that it could have something to do with the gear shift not in gauging into park all the way even though the shifter says it is and the shifter wont go up anymore there seems to be one thing after another with this car OH and I also burned myself leaning against front quarter panel but the hood its self was cool to the touch.
