The headlights will turn off and on randomly without warning. My driving panel shows no indicator or warning lights. This is an ongoing and extremely dangerous issue. I-??m told it will be very expensive to diagnose and repair due to the need to remove the entire steering section to access the headlight control wand.
January 2021 starting burning engine oil. Have been to the kia dealership numerous times complaining. Negative results regarding the situation. Engine spits - hisses - hiccups and dies. Car hopped forward and rolled backwards into traffic on the highway. Car burned through three quarts of oil within a three week time period. Check engine light is on again.

Right turn signal always flickers during use. I change the turn signal bulb monthly but it never last more than a few days working if not at all. I have confirmed there is nothing wrong with the bulbs as I have checked the bulb with the left side.
Low-beams will not turn on in any position, while the high-beams continue to function. I was able to use the high-beams to get me home but not having access to low-beams is dangerous.

The lights flickered and I lost both head lights. Head light bulbs keep going out randomly. Sometimes both at the same time. I have replaced them 4 times this year.

When using blinker while in motion with the lights on, the lights mess up. Sometimes the brights will flash, sometimes all vehicle lights will cut off, sometimes all vehicle lights will flash along with blinker. This started after about 6 months of owning the vehicle.
My blinker lights and brake and headlights always need to be replaced.and my right side blinker will not work properly no matter how many times I change it. This is a ongoing issue.
My headlights flicker when I'm driving. Sometimes they shut completely off and don't come back on for several seconds. I notice the problem not when I use my indicators. When I flick the indicator on my headlights flicker off and on.
