Description of the problem	Since august 2019, i have been experiencing intermittent headlights failure while driving and the headlights was set on auto. The headlights would shut off for 5-10 seconds unexpectedly and will turn on again. When it happens again this past saturday (11/7) , i noticed when the headlights went off, only the headlights symbol was lighted on the dash. Normally, when the headlights were switched on auto both the front and rear taillights and headlights symbol would be lighted on the dash. I have spoken to fairfax kia service technician about this problem but since the problem could not be reproduced, he was unable to resolve the issue. In reviewing your site, it appears other owners of 2017 kia sorento have had similar issues with the headlights shutting off while using the auto headlights feature. I feel this is a serious safety concern, therefore, i am hoping your agency will initiate an investigation on the matter to resolve the issue before someone gets seriously injured or die as a result of this issue.
