2024 Kia Forte Electrical Problems

Your car has exposed electrical wires and is showing airbag system failure codes, which may prevent the airbags from deploying in a crash. You're also experiencing brake issues with voltage malfunctions that could affect braking performance. These problems pose serious safety risks and require immediate professional inspection and repair of the electrical system, airbag components, and brake system.

Your car's safety system unit has failed, and you have evidence of a voltage problem. However, the dealership has refused to repair it. This involves issues with your electrical system, airbags, and wipers all being affected by the same underlying problem.

Your car's airbag system is experiencing chronic electrical power supply problems, affecting the airbag control unit and sensors. This means your airbags may not deploy properly in a crash, or warning lights may stay on. The issue likely requires replacement or repair of the airbag control module and related electrical connections.

Your 2024 Kia Forte is shutting down unexpectedly while driving, with more than 10-15 incidents occurring primarily on the freeway. The dealership has been unable to reproduce the problem during their test drives (10-20 miles), though you've documented the issue with videos and note it happens regularly during your wife's daily driving. Kia has refused to buy back the vehicle based on the dealership's inability to duplicate the fault. Resolving this will likely require extended diagnostic testing under real-world driving conditions to identify the electrical or engine system fault causing the shutdown.

Your headlights shut off while driving at night after the car hit a small dip in the road. You heard a sound similar to the key-on startup sound, and noticed the dashboard information screen reset itself. After stopping and cycling the headlights several times, restarting the car restored the headlights. The problem recurred on the freeway when driving over road dips at overpasses. This suggests an electrical connection issue that may be triggered by vehicle movement or suspension compression.
