Came to a stop at an intersection on a busy highway, went to accelerate and turn left when the transmission locked without warning. Vehicle would not shift into gear.
Vehicles instrument cluster not showing any display. Unable to see speedometer or any indicator lights. Vehicle has not been in for service yet appointment needs to be made. Issue was resolved temporarily by disconnecting battery and reconnecting battery and issue went away. There was no indication that this issue would happen.
Transmission unreliable. While crossing a 4 lane highway the engine revved but would not engage.

When i drive this vehicle at night it seems like the low beam headlights are not aimed correctly. It seems like they are angled too far down on the road as i feel like i could not see more than 15-20 feet in front of the vehicle without my high beams on, also the low beams are angled so far down towards the road that it did not illuminate any traffic signs on the side of the road so i could not make them out either. It was scary not being able to see far out as i’m used to.
I just bought 2025 kia seltos ex for 5 days. Oil cooler already leaking oil, car running fine no lights on. And another issue is when i moved steering to left or right, even on slow speed make any turn, i heard 'dot dot dot' mental sounds under passage wheel, can't believe it happened in new car.
The vehicle acts like it is trying to change gears when i am driving. This is the third time i have noticed this on the last few weeks. Maybe power train?
