Description of the problem	While driving down the road at night and the headlights set to auto, they will randomly turn off on their own. I have almost been in a head on collision because of this. Turning the light control manually to either off or manual on and then back to auto gets them back on. How can such a safety issue not be addressed? I see posts about this all over the interent - especially for the 2017 model. The dealership wants to charge me $500 to replace the wiring! The vehicle has under 35k miles. Please approach kia and have them issue a recall for this issue. People who live in rural areas without lit roads can be serious injured - especially if its the first time it occurs and they are not prepared to fiddle with the light control to get it operating again. Date provided in the form represents the most recent occurrence of the issue - not the only.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
