Driver side headlight went out. Replaced bulb back on and then right back off. Further looking and the adapter plug that snaps into the back of the light is burnt!.
Dash lights flicker on and off. Headlights flicker and shut off. Has happened while driving at night with kids had to stop middle of road. Weird noise (electric buzz) sounds like in speakers. While driving backroads. Has happened numerous times.
While driving at night, when the blinker is used, the headlights flicker and go out for a few seconds. Once you use the blinker once it will continue to do so for many minutes. This is incredibly unsafe. Upon research, it is a faulty wire that overheats the connector causing it become deformed. This is a safety issue and should be a recall ASAP.
Was driving down back country highway where there are no highway lights when my head lights would turn off for a few seconds and then back on a couple of times. Then when I thought it was okay to drive, anytime I would use my blinker, all of my interior would turn off and on. This never happened to me until recently. I wasn't hitting any bumps when it happened, just highway. I was driving my kids back home from a weekend trip so it's not like I was close to home either which made it worse. About a year ago I did have my headlight wiring worked on after my left headlight would randomly work and not work on days and it turned out to by my wire burned. Kia fixes that problem but this headlight flickering at night is extremely dangerous and after researching it looks like there are many others who have experienced the same scary scenario with no good outcome from kia. Just to add as well, I've been recieving numerous calls from kia before this trying to buy my car back because it is in �high demand�, but after this happened it has came across my mind that they are just trying to buy them back to prevent liability on their part for not putting a recall out on the problem before something happens to someone and/or their family.
Driving at night and the head lights randomly turn off and back on, sometimes judt for a second and sometimes longer.
