Description of the problem	Driving home night 9/4/19, noticed headlights have partial obstruction with shadow on horizon making it difficult to recognize any objects in the shadow area. If you turn the car or take a bend in the road or drive down or up hill the distraction becomes a very bad problem as the shadow changes in size or moves... Mostly on low beams but is also on high beams but not as noticeable.... Live and drive in the ne georgia mountains, hazard in daytime and more at night.. Called kia next am, car seen dealership 9/9/2019.. Adjusted headlights... 9/13/2019 drove night again, no change... Called dealership and took in 9/18/2019 before service was told this is a problem with the 2019 kia sportage and other kia suv's.. Nothing they can do... It is a problem that has been reported to them by other kia sportage owners and it is a design flaw so was told by service manager at lifetime kis... 4170 us highway 64w, murphy, nc 28906.. 828-835-9200.... I wanted to know why when i purchased the auto was not informed of this major problem.. Considered a major safety hazard.. No satisfactory answer was given... I felt like all they wanted to do was sell a car and i was willing to purchase another but would lose 10k in just a few months.. Am still considering trading this car in so will have peace of mind on the road at night..
