1 Software problem of the 2018 Kia Motor Sportage

Failure Date: 05/18/2019

All of the lights on my dashboard come on and when this happens it's generally night time. I can't drive my car with the headlights on because if I cut them on my car won't move and my rear view camera will not work. The first time this happened it was 05/18/2019. I was driving in the evening hours to pick my son up from work I noticed that the car started to slow down as I had my foot on the accelerator, I pulled the car to the side before it stopped and turned everything off. I waited a few minutes cut it back on and every light on the dashboard was on. I couldn't move my car I cut the headline off and it proceeded to move. However at that time of night I need lights. The next morning I took the car to berwyn kia in berwyn illinois and was told that a software update was needed, took 30 minutes and I was gone. A week or two later I was right back with exact same issue and was told it was a harness problem and hey would get it fixed. My car was here for a month. I picked my car up and 07/03/2019 it happened again and I have video footage for each incident. I called kia customer service and spoke with them and I am now being the car back again on 07/17/2019 because all of the issues have happened again!!.
