6 years in KIA time is more like 50 in Ford time. You could and probably would waste thousands trying (and probably failing) to fix this problem. You could live with it or buy a good car instead of a Korean car.

For beccause to fix this one must check displayPort. DisplayPort similar to HDMIPort. Pry off edge of display screen woth hammer/driver. This will show display problem to fix displayPort. Will fix ding a ling and engine shitdown.
Now we have heard from the "take a hammer to it" corner. That will stop the ding a ling no doubt!

If the car won’t start at all and the dashboard lights are flickering, it’s likely that the battery does not have enough charge to crank over the vehicle. In this scenario, you’ll likely need to replace the failed battery. Other potential causes of flickering dash lights when your car won’t start include: Bad battery due to a failed alternator Dirty or loose battery cables Faulty ignition switch Bad control modules
