See attached document for complaint.
My vehicle is almost un-drivable at night due to a terrible headlight bean pattern. See attached image. I have taken to two different kia dealerships with no results and reached out to kia. Something is seriously wrong with these lights. #1 cochran kia: 5200 campbells run rd, pittsburgh, PA 15205 springfield kia: 3525 s campbell Ave, springfield, mo 65807 these light have been this way since receiving the vehical.
Last night was the first time I drove it in the dark while it was raining. The headlights absolutely suck!!! I’ve had daytime running lights that were brighter! I’ve had 6 volt headlights that were brighter! I probably have flashlights that are brighter! it’s seriously dangerous, in my humble opinion. There were times where the painted road stripes were worn down, no street lights, and I was literally driving blind. I was worried about driving off the road, or into oncoming traffic, as I could not see the road ahead of me. I will not drive this vehicle at night again. It's not safe. No one from the dealership or manufacturer has inspected my car. I assume all of the 2023 Soul trim levels are the same. The headlight system is a new design for the 2023 model year.
