HEADLIGHTS AND NAVIGATION SYSTEM FLICKER AND GO OUT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. LIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. CAME BACK ON AFTER ABOUT 20 SECONDS AND CONTINUED TO FLICKER. AFLS APPEARED ON THE DISPLAY, THE OWNERS MANUAL SAID TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT, THIS TURNED OFF THE AFLS LIGHT BUT THE LIGHTS AND NAVIGATION SYSTEM CONTINUE TO FLICKER OCCASIONALLY. SCARED TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.

2018 KIA SPORTAGE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE FAILURE. *LD CONSUMER SENT ADDITIONAL CORRESPONDENCE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER DENIED ASSISTANCE WITH THE FAILURE DUE TO AN AFTER MARKET OIL PLUG BEING INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE 3RD PARTY WHO CHANGED THE OIL SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FAILURE. THE ENGINE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. METAL SHAVINGS WERE FOUND IN THE OIL. *JS

I HAD A TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE ON I-75 WITH MY 2018 KIA SPORTAGE WITH JUST OVER 18,000 MILES. MY INSURANCE CARRIER (USAA) PERSON I SPOKE WITH SAID I WAS THE THIRD PERSON SHE HAS SPOKEN WITH IN THE LAST WEEK THAT HAD THE SAME MAKE & MODEL NUMBER THAT THE ENGINE FAILED. SHE SAID ONE PERSON WAS TOLD BY HER DEALER IT COULD BE SIX MONTHS BEFORE THEY CAN GET HER AN ENGINE. I AM IN NAPLES FLORIDA AND DEAL WITH AIRPORT KIA IN NAPLES, FL.

FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS OR SO, I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING AN UNKNOWN ISSUE. I'LL BE DRIVING ALONG, STEADILY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY ENGINE AND RPM GAUGE WILL REV UP AND THEN GO BACK TO NORMAL. MY SPEED DOESN'T CHANGE, NO LIGHTS GO ON, JUST THE REV-ING SOUND AND THE GAUGE GOES UP. IT'S VERY ALARMING TO ME. I'VE CHECKED WITH KIA AND THEY'RE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT STATE THAT THERE IS CURRENTLY NO RECALL OR ALERT AS TO WHAT EXACTLY THE PROBLEM IS OR HOW TO SOLVE IT.
