2013 Kia Optima is struggling shifting from first to second gear. Sometimes it will hammer into gear once it does. Also after driving it for a while it struggles to take off from a complete stop.

worn clutch or drive plate on clutch get it checked as you will one day get stranded when it totally fails to go into any gear

Where are the headlight fuses?

Mitch, No fuse for the headlamps. Controlled by the IPM,(Intelligent integrated Platform Module) fuse box under dash, has a built in smart circuit breaker that trips. It should reset if the key is cycled, but if the short is still there it will open again. Check the attached links, last link shows IPM.

Is there any fix to 2013 kia optima steering problems.it has had multiple alignments new tires and still requires non stop correction when driving to keep it going straight

Has the alignments been done by the same shop every time? If so, you may want to get a different shop to check the alignment. An alignment machine can get bumped or something can get bent to get it out of calibration. The result is the car gets a BAD alignment even though the shop says it is GOOD.

Does the auto cruise function during down hill after setting the speed?

Tambu: Yes, the cruise control should hold you at approximately the same speed you set it at even when you go downhill. Sometimes you will see it pick up a pick too much speed, but then it adjusts.
