1 Headlights Turn Off While Driving problem

Failure Date: 12/02/2020

The daytime and headlights lights will turn off randomly. (started around the 100k mileage). When stationary, the sliding doors do not shut correctly. 1st the driver's side door begins rattling like change is inside the door. 2nd then the door begins taking 2 turns to close, and then it is hit or miss when closing. The door closure button will occasionally not work, regardless of whether the car is off and parked. (started around the 45000 mileage). The driver's side seat belt connector occasionally indicates a fault error. Also the passenger side seat belt indicator will turn on when 5 pounds or less is in the passenger seat. (started around the 100k mileage). My biggest concern: since I believe the side doors are fatal accidents waiting to happen, I have my kids sit in the 3rd row. Only adults are allowed to sit in my passenger captain chairs. The blind spot warning does not work consistently.

2 Headlights Turn Off While Driving problem

Failure Date: 09/05/2020

While driving down an unlit road by harold parker state forest, in massachusetts. My low beam head lights suddenly went out ( stopped working ) and never came back on. I used my high beams to make my way home, much to the dismay of on coming traffic. I went to the local auto parts store think that the bulbs burnt out, but that is not the case. I tested the fuse and relay and everything seems find, so now I am making an appointment with the local kia dealer to investigate. My wife informed me that is had happened to her earlier the same week, but she thought it was just her eyes. This was a major problem given the time of night, the inability to see without blinding on coming traffic. I did some looking into this matter and found a lot of the same complaints on the web. Please look into this matter before someone get injured or worse, killed.

When activating turn signals the headlights go out. This seems to happen only when headlights are set auto. Returning the turn signal stalk back to the neutral position seems to correct this and also moving the switch from auto to on. The headlights go out while driving on city streets and highways, and while stationary on the city streets or in parking lots. Since I am the primary driver I am familiar with the problem but when my wife drives the van I remind her about the problem in case it should happen to her. My daughter will be driving soon and a young driver may not know what to do when the headlights go and they may panic causing a problem. Just tonight I found that when the parking lights were put on the drivers front light flickers and then goes out. I repeated this process for several cycles and it did it every time. This is something new that I was not aware of until tonight.

4 Headlights Turn Off While Driving problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2019

This is a problem that happens everyday, and at night. Two things, one the turn signals do not engage, you'll push the stalk up/down to indicate a left or right-hand turn, and the external signals do not light. Either turning the steering wheel or pushing the turn signal stalk back to the center position and then pushing the stalk back to the desired left/right indicator. Also at night, the headlights will turn off by themselves. You usuaully have to rapidly work the headlight switch on the end of the turn signal stalk to get them to turn back on. This is highly dangerous at night, and kia refuses to repair the vehicle.

Every once in a while the left turn signal will not work. You move the steering wheel left and right ligke you are turning and it will work. Or headlights will go out when you turn on your left turn signal at night time and when the turn signal goes off the headlights and tail lights will come back on. Very highly unsafe while driving. Also when driving at night the headlights are very dim. They do not shine out far enough exspecially at highway speeds. They are pointing down to early. Tried adjusting no help. Also tried les headlights helped a little but nothing to really satisfy the safety of my family while traveling.
