Auto dimming function of interior lights and activation of headlights; this occurs very rapidly on/off in seconds, should be in minutes. When on, it completely darkens the center instrument cluster where it becomes unreadable in daylight conditions. This has occurred since the vehicle was new. On 15 October 2024 university kia in durham nc looked at the issue when the vehicle was in for recall sc316r. Tech stated window mounted nc quickpass was causing the issue with obstructing light hitting the dash sensors. I relocated my nc quickpass and the vehicle has continued to do the same activation to present time. It is so bad that while driving under a shadow of a tree during the day, it will go from day into night mode then back again temporarily losing the interior center dashboard if the interior lighting is set to dim setting.
