Optima Hybrid

  • 61,000 miles
The right passenger headlight won't work I changed the light bulb and it's completely off. At first when I attempted to change the bulb the light flickered and I thought that it might've not been put on all the way or it might've became loose. But then it went completely out causing a road hazard and unsafe to drive as lights are very important. It also has caused me to be pulled over by many police when I shouldn't be going through this or anyone's one else that is going through the same problem with Kia. This first occurred when I was driving on the highway could've been a bad situation. It could be a bad wiring as I read from other reports but Kia has not done a recall. This situation should be covered by Kia and no one should pay as it is a safety issue and accidents could occur
