Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2014 KIA SOUL. I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS. WHILE DRIVING, WHETHER ON HIGHWAY DOING 70 MPH OR IN THE CITY DOING 10 TO 45 MPH. THE LIGHTS GO OUT FOR 30 SECONDS WILL FLICK BACK ON AND DO THIS REPEATEDLY SEVERAL TIMES. NO CHECK ENGINE OR OTHER LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED. IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHEN USING MY BLINKER SIGNALS. THIS HAS BECOME DANGEROUS. DRIVING WITH MY NEWBORN BABY IN CAR AND THIS HAPPENED ALMOST CAUSING A SEVERE ACCIDENT. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER AS WELL DUE TO THIS ISSUE. IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING AT NIGHT TIME WHICH CAUSES SEVERAL ISSUES. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE? THIS STARTED AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE IN TO FIX TWO RECALLS A FEW MONTHS AGO AND HAS CONTINUED.
