1 Tail Light Switch problem of the 2014 Kia Motor Soul

Failure Date: 10/21/2018

After running vehicle the driver's side rear running light goes out. The tail light assembly was checked and fully functional, turn indicator works, brake light works, hazard light flashes. This is the factory led version of the tail light assembly. This happened 6 months ago. Then I flipped the fuse and it came back on. Now it has gone off again and the fuse flip is not remedying the problem.

2 Tail Light Switch problem of the 2014 Kia Motor Soul

Failure Date: 09/26/2018

Head light bulbs on both side keep burning out or will go out when driving down the road at night. Pig tail to the lights had to be replaced in order to fix the issue. Was not covered under warranty and cost me to have it fixed when it is apparently a re-occurring problem. This occurs during stationary modes and traveling mode. On back roads with no lighting this is very dangerous and could cause an accident.

Failure Date: 10/02/2017

The contact owns a 2015 kia Soul. The contact stated that the driver's side head lamp assembly pigtail failed to function as the driver's side low beam lights were shorting and began to flicker. The contact had to maneuver the headlight switch to get the lights to remain illuminated; however, they continued to flicker and short without warning. The vehicle was taken to classic kia (902 walton dr, texarkana, TX 75503, (903) 793-4623) who replaced the bulb. Within a week, the driver's side light failed to illuminate again. Classic kia was contacted again and was unable to supply the part. The lights continued to flicker. The vehicle was then taken to crown kia (2001 w loop 281, longview, TX 75604, (903) 759-4667) who was able to supply the pigtail and light, which was replaced on the driver's side a second time. Months later, the lights continued to flicker. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notifed months later. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
