Description of the problem | The headlights of my 2014 kia soul have been flickering on and off while driving or stationary. This has been going on for a few years now. It has been taken into a dealership but after being charged the 80$ diagnostic fee, i was told the issue is due to a defective negative battering terminal connector. The issue is still ongoing even after replacing the negatve battery terminal. This is the most common complaint with this manufacturer. When is kia going to acknowledge the issue and do a recall? |
