2015 Kia Sportage Lighting Problems

MY LOWBEAMS DO NOT WORK. THE LAMPS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND STILL DON'T WORK. THERE IS NO INFO IN THE OWNERS MANUAL IDENTIFYING THE FUSE OR MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE LOWBEAMS. I CONTACTED KIA'S CONSUMER ASSISTANCE ON MARCH 22, 2019 (CASE# 13097019) WITH A 48 BUSINESS HR REP RETURN CONTACT COMMITTMENT. I JUST RECEIVED IT TODAY, APRIL 27, 2019, ADVISING ME TO TAKE TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND TO CONTACT THEM AFTER THE DIAG SO THAT THEY CAN SPEAK WITH THE DEALER TO HELP RESSOLVE. NO IDICATION THAT THEY'LL PAY, OR DO A COURTESY REPAIR. ELECTRICAL WORK CAN BE EXPENSIVE. THIS IN MY OPINION IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, WITH NO RECALL. THE INTERNET IS LOADED WITH THIS SAME ISSUE ON VARIOUS KIA MODELS. PLEASE ASSIST ME TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. IF I RECEIVE A REPAIR CITATION, I CANNOT AFFORD LENGTHY AND EXPENSIVE DIAGNOSTICS AND I'LL HAVE TO PARK MY AUTO AND CANNOT WORK AS I WORK AFTER DARK.

THE LATE MODEL KIA SPORTAGE'S HAVE TERRIBLE REAR TURN SIGNALS. THEY ARE A VERY SKINNY 1" X 6" LONG SLIT THAT IS MOUNTED INTO THE LOWER BUMPER COVER. WHEN FOLLOWING ONE OF THESE VEHICLES, ESPECIALLY IN DAYLIGHT, A DRIVERS EYE IS NOT TRAINED TO BE LOOKING FOR A VERY SMALL, SKINNY LITTLE TURN SIGNAL THAT IS NOT INTEGRATED INTO THE BRAKE LIGHTS OR EVEN NEAR THE BRAKE LIGHTS OF THE VEHICLE. THE TURN SIGNAL IS ABOUT 18"-24" LOWER THAN THE BRAKE LIGHTS. RECENTLY WHEN FOLLOWING ONE OF THESE VEHICLES I NEARLY HAD A COLLISION BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING AT THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND NOTICING THE DRIVER SLOWING BUT WHEN THEY SUDDENLY STOPPED FOR TRAFFIC TO TURN INTO THEIR DRIVEWAY, I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THIS BECAUSE I DID NOT SEE A TURN SIGNAL UNTIL I REALIZED IT WAS ONE OF THESE VEHICLES AND IT WAS ACTUALLY ON BUT COMPLETELY OUT OF MY LINE OF SIGHT. THIS DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A VERY SAFE DESIGN FOR THIS VEHICLE AND I AM SHOCKED THAT IT WAS APPROVED AS A SAFE DESIGN. THEY SHOULD BE REWIRED TO INTEGRATE INTO THE BRAKE LIGHTS OR AT LEAST BE AN ALTERNATE COLOR, SUCH AS YELLOW, TO STAND OUT MORE TO FOLLOWING VEHICLES.
