2014 Kia SOUL Exterior Lighting Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1503162
Internal NHTSA #	11139006
Manufacurer	Kia Motors America
Brand	KIA
Model	SOUL
Model Year	2014
File date	08/10/18
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	When the multi-function switch controlling the headlamps is in automatic mode, the headlamps will switch off unexpectedly. This sometimes happen when turning on a blinker while turning, but sometimes just driving down the road. This is extremely dangerous, i have been driving at night or in the early morning hours on multiple occasions, and the lights go off leaving me driving blind for several moments on the road. The list of bad things the could happen is endless: hit a pedestrian or cyclist on the side of the road; have someone pull out not seeing me coming, veer or brake unexpectedly due the shock of the lights going off, you name it. Kia appears to have issues a service bulletin on the topic concerning defective lighting connections, but, the dealership i called seemed unaware of it. Multiple posts on line show the same or similar issues with the vehicle and several state kia will not issue a recall and will only pay for a bulletin item if the vehicle is still in warranty, which mine is not. This is a highly unsafe situation and should be subject to a recall to be paid by the manufacturer. This online article details the issue: https://www. Cars. Com/articles/2014-2015-kia-soul-headlight-issue-1420683403693/ kia needs to issue a recall before someone gets killed, if they haven't already. Please advise. Thanks.
