Every time I turn my headlights on my break lights stay on and the traction light comes on. People think I am riding my brakes.
2015 Kia Optima lights complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 23 of 23, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Engine lights keep coming on and off. But doesn't give a code when I take it to get serviced. Took it up to kia to tell them that on my way home from the dealership, that my wall caught on fire in the trunk from the socket that holds the bulbs.back lights go out constantly after the bulbs are changed or the socket has been changed.
Head lights and brake lights keep shorting out making it hard for you to drive at night or even during the day. The anti lock brake jams and will cause you to slide if you are not carefully in the rain and snow
While driving at speeds higher than 45 MPH, the steering wheel locks for a brief moment. This does not allow for a smooth way to keep the vehicle straight on the highway. Very scary. Antenna cover on top of car flew off on the highway. Read that it has happened to several other 2015 optima models. Back up camera is foggy and I can no longer use it when reversing. Back taillights have condensation in them. I have already had one of them replaced early on.
The mirror inside the low beams is not working. It does not allow my headlights to project out. I barely see at night. Only lights I have are my fog lights and high beams
My lights bulb keep blowing, I have replace the brake lights,rear lights and head lights at least three times this year, there has to be somethings going on to cause this to continue to happen.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 kia optima. After taking the vehicle to ricart kia (4255 s hamilton rd #210, groveport, oh 43125, 614‑836‑6503), the contact was informed that water had accumulated in the passenger side tail light, which LED to the tail light needing to be replaced. The contact was informed that the failure would continue to occur and recommended that he file a complaint with the federal safety agency to have the defect placed under recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the defect. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 37,000.
Low beam headlights do not work on my 2015 kia optima. They don't work in motion or sitting still. Ihave to keep high beams on at night. Seems to be a common problem with all kia vehicles, yet the problem isn't being addressed.
It seems that my lights always go out! I've replaced the front light 3 times in one year. And the back brake lights as well. I am always getting pulled over because of my light going out! The trim seems to fall off as well on back doors above window.
My headlight keep going out and I have keep replacing bulbs. I be driving and lights will blink then just go out , I keep have buy light bulb every time.
I was traveling east on a 4 lane road at 45 MPH. As I was passing thru a green light, a westbound vehicle made an illegal left turn in front of me, causing me to "t-bone" his vehicle. All of his airbags deployed.....none of mine did. The car was repaired, surprisingly; yet I do not feel safe driving it. I sustained cervical and lumbar spine injuries, as well as a severe whiplash and concussion. I am unable to work, due to surgery that was necessary. I just need to know if this car is safe?? I was also in a side collision that was not my fault; two years ago,where someone hit me, and no airbags deployed. At that particular accident,I was stationary; at a stop light.
When I'm out driving I have noticed that all kia optimas have same problem as mine. The back lights stopped working. Half of the back lights went off.
Front head lamps keeps going out, per auto shop shortage in wiring for right and left front head lamps(lights) has to replace evry three weeks
