2022 Kia Seltos EX being a drama queen

Hey everyone, hoping for some insights on my cousin's ride. She snagged a 2022 Kia Seltos EX about a year ago, and it's already being a bit of a drama queen.

First, the horn just went up and quit a few months in. Got it fixed at the Kia dealership, no biggie right? WRONG.

After that, her driver's side speaker started cutting in and out like it had a mind of its own.

AND NOW, her right map light just decided to take a permanent vacation. The left one still works, and the little light bar at the front, but that right one? Nada.

Seriously, my cousin always has the worst luck with vehicles, but at least these aren't engine problems, I guess!

Does anyone have any idea what might be going on with these electrical gremlins, or if that map light is even something she can just swap out herself?

Also, has anyone else with a Seltos had weird electrical issues like this? So frustrating!
 
To replace the map light, just pop off the lens and swap the bulb. If it keeps going out, it could be a bad ground or a loose BCM link, might need a checkup/diagnostic
 
Do you think all these issues could be tied to a common wiring or ground fault, or are you leaning toward them being separate little quirks popping up one after another?
