| Description of the problem | I have a head lights that keep going in and out . I have had it repairs a lot of times but it keeps doing it . Ithen got a paper in the mail for a extension on the lights for my model vehicle cause the connectors in the headlight assembly needed to be replaced so i took it to kia. They told me that because i had it fixed so many time that theres not enough wire to replace it again this was on may 14 2019 and they said that my whole headlight assembly needed to be changed in order to fix it but they would have to ask kia for coverage . On may 30th i called again to see if they were gonna cover it and they said no even tho this a safety concern. That because i didn't go to them to fix it in the first place they wont cover it . |
