Consumer Description

EXTERIOR LIGHTING SAFETY ISSUE! LAST NIGHT AS I WAS DRIVING MY LOW BEAM HEAD LAMPS STOPPED WORKING. THE LED LIGHTS ABOVE THE HEAD LAMPS WORK FINE, MY RUNNING LOWER LIGHTS AND MY HIGH BEAMS ALL WORK PROPERLY. JUST MY LOW BEAMS NO LONGER COME ON. HAD TO DRIVE WITH HAZARDS ON. THEY DO NOT COME ON AFTER TRYING MULTIPLE TIMES TO RESTART CAR AND TURNING THEM ON BOTH WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE BEING PARKED. SUCH A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES HAPPENING! HOW DO I FIX THIS? I CANNOT BELIEVE KIA HAS NOT MADE THIS A RECALL YET FOR OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUES - ABSOLUTELY BAFFLING
