Vehicle will accelerate and then lose power. Took it in they said not covered under warranty. $450 to fix tailghts and headlights all went out within a week of each other. Wheels sensors keep saying low tires even after new tires out on.

While the vehicle is in motion, on both city streets and interstates, and at both low or higher speeds the vehicle's headlights, tail lights and other lighting will turn off on their own. This is extremely dangerous specifically after sunset when it is completely dark. I took the vehicle for repair at my local Kia dealer for service and they said there is an "open circuit in ipm (fuse block)." I think this should be a mandatory recall to rectify the situation and make all the vehicles safe for my family, myself and for other drivers and passengers on the road who could end up in an accident due to this issue.

Headlights cutting off randomly while driving at night. Took to Kia dealer and they said it was a faulty light switch located in the steering column. It was replaced. One week later, it happened again while wife was driving, the local dealership who did the original repair could not get it in to look at for 2 weeks. This morning wife was driving to work in the dark, when headlights went out again, this time the dash lights also went out. This is a very dangerous situation that needs to be corrected asap.

While driving at night while my headlights are in auto position they will randomly turn off for a few seconds and then click back on. This has happened twice in one week. The last time, was while driving 70 mph down the interstate and my headlights went out without warning.

Multiple times I will be driving along, and at either a slow speed or stopped at a light, the car will just shut off. This is not safe! also 2 times the exterior lights have not come on in the dark even if you turn them on yourself nothing comes on and its been dark driving when that's happened! I'm worried for the safety of myself and children in this car, and the dealership and service dept do not find anything wrong with the car. But in looking online a lot of people have this complaint as well! if this happened to me at a high speed or driving on the interstate that could cause an accident and injur people! please help!

Xenon hid headlights auto adjusting, driving down hills the low beam headlights drop sharply to about 27 ft. In front of vehicle. Drove the vehicle with the service manager, frank petrozzi of grieco Kia of johnston ri and district manager, barry zoll from Kia motors America 732-372-8295 at night.11/8/2017, so they could see what is happening. I feel that this is very dangerous condition. They tell me that this is the way they are supposed to work, and are working according to specifications and there is nothing that they can do to correct it. Today I received a call from Mr. Trevor my case manager from Kia 800-333-4542. My case # 12462124. Mr. Trevor was sorry that he can not do anything because the lights are working as specification and they do not have a solution to the problem. The new Kia sxl Sorento's have new headlights, but will not fit in my vehicle. I feel that this is a safety issue that Kia should correct. I have been trying to get this issue corrected, thru Kia motors, since July 26,2017

While driving on both city streets and highways, headlights turn on in daylight (with bright sky on different times of day) and stay on while on auto with clear and unobstructed dashboard light sensors. This happens randomly and I haven't been able to determine a possible cause or find any recurring conditions that may trigger this. I took the car as well as a video of the issue to the local Kia dealer (horne Kia, gilbert, AZ) and they were unable to identify the problem. They said they tested the light sensors and they are working fine. I noticed the issue for the first time at around 15,000 miles but I didn't pay too much attention to it. At 20,000 miles, I made a video of this issue for my records (available upon request). The car has almost 40.000 miles now and the issue persists. Thanks!

No accident or any such thing has happened yet but I think something should be done about the headlights as they are too easily covered with mud while driving on wet roads. I was driving to another city 2 hours away and it got dark out and when I noticed I couldn't really see ahead of me very far and I know the headlights on this car are amazing. So I stopped and sure enough the headlights were all covered with spatter from other vehicles tires splashing the wet road up onto them. Finally after clearin the mud off of the headlights I could see again far in front of me. But not even 30 minutes later did I have to stop again to clear off the headlights so I could see in front of me.
