Consumer Description
I'VE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY CAR SINCE A FEW MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT IN 2019. MY HEADLIGHTS WILL JUST STOP WORKING WHEN I'M DRIVING. EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING IN FRONT OF ME. THE CONNECTORS THAT GO TO THE HEADLIGHTS KEEP MELTING AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THEM NUMEROUS TIMES. SOMETIMES THE CONNECTORS WILL LAST A LITTLE OVER A MONTH AND SOMETIMES THEY WILL BE MELTED WITHIN DAYS. IF BOTH OF MY HEADLIGHTS ARE WORKING SOMETIMES MY BRAKE LIGHTS WILL GO OUT. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER AND BEEN GIVEN WARNINGS FOR BOTH, HEADLIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS BEING OUT. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT A LOT OF KIA OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES. NOW I'M HAVING AN ISSUE OF MY CAR RADIO, BACK UP CAMERA SCREEN AND LIGHTER PLUG AND USB PLUG NOT WORKING. THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE GOING ON WITH THESE CARS AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE TRYING TO FIX THIS.
