Consumer Description
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, AT NIGHT, MY FOG LIGHTS START GOING ON AND OFF. I NEVER REALIZED HOW MUCH THEY ACTUALLY HELP. CAR ISN'T UNDER WARRANTY SO KIA WILL NOT REPLACE. GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS LOTS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. FOUND OUT IT COULD BE THE LCM - $80. FOR WHAT LOOKS LIKE A [XXX] PLUG IN. REALLY? COME ON KIA. ADDITIONALLY, I WAS INFORMED OF A HEADLIGHT RECALL. CALLED RICK CASE KIA, AGAIN, TERRIBLE SERVICE/CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY DISMISSED ME, JUST KEPT SAYING "THERE'S NO RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE." PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
