Your backup lights are very small and positioned low under the license plate, making them hard for other drivers to see when you're backing up in parking lots. This has created several close-call situations where other drivers don't notice you're moving backward. The fix would likely involve Kia redesigning the backup light assembly to be larger and more visible, or repositioning it higher on the vehicle.
