Description of the problem | The headlights and dashboard lights start to flicker on/off several times while driving which not only presents a danger for the driver/passengers in the vehicle but approaching vehicles as well as this can be a distraction when oncoming drivers see flashing headlights and it is definitely a safety issue while operating the vehicle at night. This happens while driving, stationary, city streets, highways turning or going straight. It presents a dangerous driving situation. I listed one date that it happened but it has happened multiple times and continues to happen. Kia needs to issue a recall and fix this is as this is not a warranty issue it is a dangerous situation. |
