Description of the problem	My 2017 kia sorento headlights shut off for no reason when i am driving. When they are in auto mode they will turn off followed by a warning on my screen saying they have switched from auto to manual. I have to turn the knob to off then back on. They also shut off in manual mode. This is extremely dangerous and frightening,especially with my toddler in the back seat. I am told a tsb has been started and possibly a class action lawsuit. When will kia do a recall? One dealership told me they have no idea what it could be because it hasnt happened to them, another dealership said they have never heard of it but are willing to take a look to see if they can fix this but i will have to pay. This is not right since this is a kia defect with multiple complaints.
