A few months after purchasing the car I noticed that the cabin (interior) light do not go on when the car is parked, and if a door is open. The light by the driver peddles does go on. I made an appointment with the local dealer to have this fixed. The day before the appointment the cabin lights started working as you would expect. I held the appointment because the sun screen on the right back-passenger door would not raise. About two weeks later the cabin lights, once again, stopped working, with only the lights by the driver peddles working. I will mention this to the dealer in a few days when I take the car in for servicing.
Update from Nov 22, 2016: I have been educated by the very patient tech at Sands KIA. Problem was that I was unaware of a button that is part of the complex in the ceiling below the moon roof. This button will activate or deactivate the automatic operation of the interior cabin lights.
Problem does NOT exist. Just find the silly little button. It helps if you can stand on your head, as these buttons are hard to see, and only a graphic is presented.
