| Description of the problem | While driving my kia soul my headlights will switch completely off and it has became very dangerous especially when i am driving on dark back roads. I notice it happens when i put my signal light on and turn it seems that this may be a trigger to the malfunction. I have seen that other kia soul owners have been experiencing this same malfunction and i wonder why it has not been a recall. The lights will sometimes pop right back on but last night it blinked out for a minute and i had to put the high beam on. But all last night the high been seemed to not want to work so now it is dangerous to drive at night time. |
