Description of the problem	2017 kia sorento, awd, mileage ~30k. When the headlights are set to "auto", they will randomly turn off, usually when i activate a turn signal. It happens at all speeds, on all types of road, most often when i'm turning. I've had several 'close calls' at night. Obviously, if the lights turn off unexpectedly, not only can i not see my path forward, but others can't see me either.
