EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BRAKE LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF, EVEN THE ENGINE IS OFF. IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR AS THE BRAKE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. KIA HAD A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE (HTTPS://WWW.AUTOMOTIVE-FLEET.COM/143442/HYUNDAI-KIA-ISSUE-RECALLS-FOR-BRAKE-LIGHT-ISSUE) FOR MANY CARS. HOWEVER, I CONTACTED KIA AND WAS TOLD IT IS MY OWN PROBLEM. I CONTACTED LOCAL DEALER AND THEY WERE VERY KIND AT THE BEGINNING, HOWEVER, AFTER I DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM, THEY DID NOT REPLY MY EMAIL. I DO BELIEVE KIA IS TRYING TO CHEAT CUSTOMERS TO AVOID THEIR RESPONSIBILITY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS MY HEADLIGHTS WILL TURN ON OR OFF WHEN USING TURN SIGNALS OR JUST HITTING A BUMP. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WITH NO STREET LIGHTS. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW AND IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. MY 2015 SEDONA ONLY HAS 90K MILES AND I WOULD NOT EXPECT TO HAVE AN ISSUE LIKE THIS AT THIS TIME.
