File date	29/04/20
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Vehicle headlight polycarbonate plastic blistering, peeling, cracking and other severely deterioration aspects are happening in a fast, exponential manner. Both headlights have continued to progress deteriorating since april, before the 3 year purchase period of the vehicle. We have owned 4 brand new kia vehicles, and none before this one have ever displayed this headlight housing deterioration before. We researched this type of deterioration to see if it was a common issue across kia and other vehicle manufacturers, and we did not find anything displaying anything that our headlights are producing outside of what one would consider normal wear (eventual discoloration). We are concerned for our nighttime driving safety regarding to this apparent manufacturing defect in the quality of the headlight plastic. We are concerned with the nighttime visibility eventually being compromised.
