Headlights Problems of Kia Motor Soul - part 1

I leave for work early in the morning and several times the lights would start blinking and go out. The lights would come back on after blinking again. There were no warning signs and it makes me scared to drive the car. I took the car to a mechanic who told me he checked the recall list. My state does not require an inspection and I have not talked to my insurance company cause I need to and want to hear from kia. A coworker told me he think it could be in the turn signal. I just need kia to check my car for a recall or maybe try to check it for a defect.

I do not understand why loosing headlights due to a known issue is a hard call to turn into a recall. On my way in to work this morning my right headlight went out making it 2 for 2. Headlights are a serious safety issue when it is dark. With one light out is is hard to see, in this case, the right of the road on the winding mountain road I travel in to my office.

Takata recall my 2014 kia Soul has been experiencing problems with the headlights turning off while in motion at night! they both begin to flicker and they turn off and just leave me with my low running lights on. This is a very serious issue its not the first time kia has been notified of this and this is a safety hazard!! this has happened to alot of people and need to be a recall.

Headlight g ooff without out warning. Very dangerous!! this has only happened while driving. Lights flick back on after . A few seconds, or up to a minute.

This is involving recall sc176 and other concerns. Car loses force while accelerating that has happen 2-3 times. As well as rattling noise under car. Also, headlights are flickering and turn off completely. Car has left me stranded once thinking it was the battery, I bought new battery and still it indicates that new battery is low 9volts. All this while driving on city streets. I have nothing to show as evidence. But I will take pictures as the lights start to flicker again. I have taken the car to kia to have a recall performed which they said they did but car is still not responding as it should. Oil change was done according to the tech. And a diagnose was also preformed and said nothing is wrong yet my car keeps flickering lights, rattling noise at times, slowing down. But nothing is wrong. Oh and the battery is still causing me problems because its not getting the support from the alternator because its still low indicator.

Headlights turning off at night while driving.

The housing unit for the left headlight melted causing the headlight not to function. The light is not burnt out. The light in the housing is the original factory light. The kia dealership will not recognize this as equipment malfunction. Th dealership stated there has only been a recall on the sorento model for that problem.

The drivers side headlight has blown 3 bulbs when changing to last bulb it appears the connector has over heated and melted there is a recall on the connector but was told that it was not recalled for my vehicle per the VIN number.

When diving at night on the streets or on the freeway I have experienced my headlights and interior light flickering and then the turning off completely momentarily. This has happened on a very rural winding road where I feared for my life because I could see nothing for a few second when the lights came back on. I am now afraid to drive my car at night. This does not happen all of the time but it did happen last night when going over a railroad crossing, which is why I decided to file a complaint.

The headlights and dashboard lights start to flicker on/off several times while driving which not only presents a danger for the driver/passengers in the vehicle but approaching vehicles as well as this can be a distraction when oncoming drivers see flashing headlights and it is definitely a safety issue while operating the vehicle at night. This happens while driving, stationary, city streets, highways turning or going straight. It presents a dangerous driving situation. I listed one date that it happened but it has happened multiple times and continues to happen. Kia needs to issue a recall and fix this is as this is not a warranty issue it is a dangerous situation.

Late one night, I try to turn on my headlights on. The light would not come on and started to flicker I had to turn them off and on several times to get them on. Them a few months later my driver side head lamp did not work. I replace the bulb. Then I receive a notice from kia there my be a problem with the lights flicking. I when into the victorville kia dealership for a different recall, and ask them to check the problem with the flicker and at the time had the driver head light out and they said that they couldn't re-product the problem and they would not fix the electrical system. I had the head light replace, along with the wires, they had burn up. I just replaced by third headlight. Three (3) head lights within four (4) months.

Whether the vehicle is stationary, in motion, on a city street or a highway, the right headlight will flicker and then go out. No matter what I've done on my end, nothing has solved the issue, racking up unnecessary costs. Once in a while the headlight will stay on longer than expected but suddenly turns off, making it very dangerous while driving on pitch black roads.
