2005 Kia Sorento Lights Problems

Your brake lights don't turn on when you press the brake pedal, even though the tail lights work normally. At the same time, your cruise control stopped working. You've replaced the bulbs and fuse, but the problem persists—this suggests a faulty brake light switch rather than a wiring or bulb issue. The fix likely involves replacing the brake light switch, which controls both the brake lights and cruise control function.

NOTE: PURCHASED VEHICLE USED APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH AND 500 MILES BEFORE PROBLEMS INITIALLY STARTED. 1) HEADLIGHT BULBS BLOW OUT REPEATEDLY EITHER DURING DRIVING OR AN ONSET OF DRIVING (COME ON MOMENTARILY JUST BEFORE BLOWING). HAVE HAD TO REPLACE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BULBS ON 5 OCCASIONS IN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. RESEARCH ON THE MATTER INDICATES THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE AMONG KIA SORENTO OWNERS. OBSERVED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THAT THE BULBS BLEW OUT AFTER USING THE KEY FOB. STOPPED USING THE KEY FOB AND THE BULB BLOWOUTS STOPPED, BUT ISSUE #2 CONTINUES (SEE NEXT INCIDENT DESCRIPTION). 2) HEADLIGHTS LOW BEAMS STOP WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. HEADLIGHT LOW BEAMS STOP WORKING DURING DRIVING AT NIGHT OR WILL NOT WORK FROM ONSET OF DRIVING. INCIDENT OCCURS AT LEAST MONTHLY DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 600 MILES PER MONTH. LOW BEAMS START WORKING AGAIN ON INTERMITTENT BASIS. OBSERVED THAT IF THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT WORK AT ONSET OF DRIVING, AFTER SWITCHING THE LOW BEAMS ON AND OFF A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF TIMES (20+) THEY WILL SOMETIMES START WORKING AGAIN (LEARNED THIS AFTER BEING STRANDED AT NIGHT WITHOUT ABILITY TO SAFELY DRIVE). *TR

I WAS STOPPED BY A FHP OFFICER ON MY WAY HOME ONE FRIDAY EVENING FOR MY LEFT HEADLIGHTS BEING OUT. I DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE OUT UNTIL HE STOPPED ME. I DIDN'T GET A TICKET, ONLY A WARNING. THE OFFICER SAID IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY LIGHTS OUT. A COUPLE YEARS BACK I WAS STOPPED IN VALDOSTA FOR THE SAME REASON. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 50 TIMES OR MORE SINCE I HAVE HAD THIS CAR. MY LIGHTS GO OUT EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS AND SOMETIMES I DON'T KNOW THERE OUT UNTIL SOMEONE STOPS ME OR I CAN HARDLY SEE TO DRIVE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I THINK KIA SHOULD RECALL THIS MODEL AND FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE OVER 100+ POSTS FROM THIS SITE OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. ARE THEY GOING TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE IS KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE KIA WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE TALKED TO A LAWYER AND I PLAN TO START A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST KIA IF THEY DON'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SITUATION. THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHERS WHO ARE READY ALSO. THE KIA DEALERS WANT DO ANYTHING TO HELP WITH THIS, AND THEY KNOW IT IS A PROBLEM THAT IS FROM THE FACTORY. ALL THEY EVER SAY IS IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN 2005. I WENT DOWN TO SOUTH FLORIDA TO VISIT IN 2005 AND ON THE WAY DOWN ALL MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. I COULDN'T SEE TO DRIVE AT ALL SO WE HAD TO STOP FOR THE NIGHT AND WAIT TILL MORNING TO GET IT FIXED. IT COST ME OVER $80.00 TO GET IT FIXED THE FIRST TIME. SINCE THEY GO OUT ON A MONTHLY BASIS, MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN FIXING THEM. IT IS GETTING QUITE EXPENSIVE TO KEEP REPLACING THE BULBS AND IT'S VERY ANNOYING AND DANGEROUS AS WELL!! *TR

HELP!! I AM CONSTANTLY REPLACING HEAD LIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, FOG LIGHTS. EVERY SINGLE MONTH IT'S ONE LIGHT OR ANOTHER IN A CONTINUOUS CYCLE. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. I LOVE MY KIA SORRENTO OTHER THAN THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS MUCH AS IT IS A NUISANCE NOT TO MENTION AN EXPENSE!!! KIA, DO THE RIGHT THING!! PLEASE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND BOTH OF MY TAILLIGHTS STOP WORKING. I WAS NOTIFIED BY ANOTHER DRIVER. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE KIA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A LIGHT ASSEMBLY PROBLEM. THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT. EVEN AFTER THEIR SO CALLED FIX I HAVE T O REPLACE TAILLIGHT AND HEADLIGHT BULBS ABOUT EVERY THREE MONTHS. THE OUTAGES OCCUR ON OPPOSITE SIDES EVERYTIME AND SWITCH BETWEEN THE TAILLIGHT AND HEADLIGHT. I HAVE TO KEEP EXTRA BULBS AND THE NEEDED TOOLS AVAILABLE IN MY TRUCK AT ALL TIMES. I HAVE BEEN ISSUED A TICKET AS WELL DUE TO MY TAILLIGHT BEING OUT. THIS IS VERY COSTLY AND DANGEROUS TO FAMILY. I HAVE TWO TEENAGE CHILDREN WHO ALSO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. IT SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM DUE TO THE BLOGS THAT I HAVE SEEN CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP. *TR

I HAVE REPLACED ABOUT 5-7 DRIVER'S FRONT HEADLAMP BULBS AND NEED TO REPLACE IT AGAIN. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING BECAUSE EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS IT GOES OUT, NOT TO MENTION THE COST OF THE BULBS AND TO HAVE SOMEONE PUT THEM IN. I AM READY TO GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE!!! I HAVE CHECKED WITH KIA AND OF COURSE, THEY SAY THEY HAVE NOT HAD ANY COMPLAINTS OR HAVE HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE HEADLAMPS, LIARS!!! I WISH THEY WOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY SOMEONE CAN HELP ME. *TR

HEADLIGHTS REPLACED WITH XENON HEADLIGHTS. THEY BLEW, BOTH AT THE SAME TIME, ABOUT 60 DAYS AFTER INSTALLATION. THEN I REPLACED THEM AGAIN WITH THE SAME LIGHTS, AGAIN, ONE BLEW ABOUT 3 MONTHS LATER. REPLACED THEM WITH REGULAR HEADLIGHTS. DRIVERS SIDE BLEW, REPLACED IT, BOTH BLEW AGAIN ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER. LAST WEEK, DRIVERS SIDE WENT, REPLACED IT, AND THE PASSENGER SIDE BLEW THE VERY NEXT DAY. WITH THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN ONLINE, KIA SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO CHANGE SIDE MARKERS, TAIL LIGHTS (TWICE) AND A DIRECTIONAL (TWICE). I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE 10/2010. *TR

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BULBS IN THIS VEHICLE EVERY FEW MONTHS. BRAKE LIGHTS, HEAD LIGHTS, FOG LIGHTS, BLINKERS ETC. THIS IS INSANE. I KEEP GETTING TICKETS, AND NOW 2 DAYS AGO THE OFFICER RECOGNIZED ME FROM PULLING ME OVER FOR THE SAME THING 6 MONTHS AGO. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 KIA SORENTO. THE TAIL LIGHTS, TAG LIGHTS, HEAD LIGHTS, AND RUNNING LIGHTS ARE CONSTANTLY GOING UP. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM SICK AND TIRED OF SPENDING A SMALL FORTUNE IN BULBS FOR THIS CAR. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2005 AND HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING. KIA WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM OR PUT A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. FOR THE SAFETY OF MY TWO KIDS WHO ARE PASSENGERS IN THIS VEHICLE, PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 KIA SORENTO THAT CONSTANTLY HAS HEADLIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS, FOG LIGHTS & BRAKE LIGHTS THAT CONSTANTLY GO OUT. I NORMALLY HAVE TO REPLACE ONE OF THESE LIGHTS AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH......I'VE STARTED KEEPING MY RECEIPTS BECAUSE HOPEFULLY KIA WILL STAND BY THEIR VEHICLES AND FINALLY DO A RECALL ON THIS. I LOOK ONLINE AND SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, BUT IT LOOKS AS IF KIA ISN'T STANDING BY THEIR VEHICLE. I HAVE NO INTENTION ON PURCHASING A KIA AGAIN. I HAVE CALLED THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT QUITE A FEW TIMES TO SEE IF THEIR HAS BEEN A RECALL ISSUED YET, BUT THE SERVICEMEN SEEM TO BLOW THE ISSUE OFF. *TR

LIGHTING (BULBS) VERY SHORT LIFE, BULBS LAST 1/5 TO 1/10TH OF THE LIFE IN OTHER VEHICLES. MOST RECENT BOTH LOW BEAM BULBS FAILED WITHIN 5 MINUTES LEAVING US WITH NO LIGHTING WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON UNLIT DIVIDED HIGHWAY. WE HAVE BEEN REPLACING BULBS EVERY 2-3 MONTHS. WE ALWAYS REPLACE BOTH HEADLIGHTS WHEN ONE BURNS OUT. MY OTHER VEHICLES LAST MANY YEARS, THIS VEHICLE IS THE ONLY ONE I HAVE EVER HAD THAT HEADLIGHTS ONLY LAST MONTHS. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY DRIVEN 4 DAYS PER WEEK AND THE HEADLIGHT LIFE IS ACTUALLY LESS THAN 50 HOURS USE. WE HAVE TRIED SYLVANIA (STANDARD, SILVERSTAR AND SILVERSTAR ULTRAS, GE, HELLA AND RECENTLY PHILLIPS BULBS ALL WITH THE SAME LIFESPAN (WITHIN DAYS) SOMETHING IS WRONG. THERE IS A TSB BUT NO RECALL. *TR

TLA*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 KIA SORENTO. AFTER PARKING, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE DOME LIGHT WAS NOT WORKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHERE THE BULB WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOUR TO FIVE TIMES BECAUSE THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CONTACT KEPT REPLACING BULBS BUT THE DOME LIGHT STILL SHORTED OUT. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 12,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 57,000.

THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS START WORKING BY ITSELF WITHOUT PRESSING ANY CONTROL. SPECIALTY AT NIGHT AND THE WASHER PUMP DOES NOT WORK. SOMETIMES WHEN USING TURN SIGNALS OR HEADLIGHTS AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. IT IS SCARY BECAUSE YOU DO NOT EXPECT SUCH OCCURRENCES AND MAKES A DISTRACTION WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING IN THE SPEEDWAY, HERE IN SOUTH CAROLINA WITHOUT ANY LIGHTS IN THE ROAD AND THE I 26 IS NOT AN EASY ROAD TO DRIVE SAFETY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 KIA SORENTO. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH THE EXTERIOR LIGHT SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED AND SUDDENLY BECAME NONFUNCTIONAL WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A BURNED OUT LIGHT BULB. THE FAILURE WAS A FREQUENT OCCURRENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 110,000.

I HAVE A 2005 SORENTO. I HAVE REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS 15 TIMES. THEY HAVE BOTH GONE OUT BEFORE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND I HAD TO DRIVE NEARLY 40 MILES WITH BRIGHTS ONLY. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED BRAKE LIGHTS 5 TIMES. IT STARTED IN OCT THE YEAR I BOUGHT THE CAR AND HAS CONTINUED. I AM STUNNED AT THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND LACK OF RESPONSE FROM KIA. ANYBODY FILING A CLASS ACTION? I'M SURE THERE WOULD BE PLENTY OF TAKERS!! *TR

FIRST THE HEADLIGHTS ON DRIVER SIDE WENT OUT. WE TOOK THE 2005 KIA SORENTO LX TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE HEADLIGHT REPLACED AT WHICH TIME THEY ADMITTED THERE WAS A DEFECT PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT FREQUENTLY. THEY SAID BRING IT IN AND THEY WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THE NEXT TIME THE PASSENGER LIGHT WENT OUT AND THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM AND WOULD NOT FIX IT. SINCE THEN THE DRIVERS SIDE LIGHT HAS GONE OUT THREE MORE TIMES AND THE PASSENGERS SIDE HAS GONE OUT TWICE. EACH REAR BRAKE LIGHT HAS GONE OUT TWICE. RECENTLY WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY MALFUNCTIONING ALONG WITH BOTH HEADLIGHTS AND A SMELL OF SMOKE NEAR THE DOME LIGHT. WE HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER TWICE BY POLICE DUE TO INOPERABLE HEADLIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS. THE DEALER TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS OBVIOUS ELECTRICAL DEFECT WHICH IS CLEARLY A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE TWICE HEADLIGHTS AND THE TWICE TAILLIGHT FOUR SETS OF PARKING LIGHTS,ON OUR 2005 KIA SORENTO EX THIS IN A 18 MONTHS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2005 KIA SORENTO. INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING THE HEAD-LIGHTS FAIL. ALSO THE INTERIOR LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON WHEN THE DOORS ARE OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000. THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS UNAVAILABLE.

HEADLAMPS FAIL AND MUST BE REPLACED EVERY 3-6 MONTHS. *TR

MY 05 KIA SORRENTO'S HEAD LIGHT BULBS KEEP CONSISTENTLY BURNING OUT. I HAVE BOUGHT 8 LIGHTBULBS WITHIN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. THIS WILL BE THE VERY LAST KIA THAT I OWN UNLESS THERE SERVICE GETS BETTER AND MORE RELIABLE AND THEY TAKE ACTION ON THERE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 KIA SORENTO, I HAVE CHANGED THE HEADLIGHTS A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES SINCE I HAVE HAD THIS CAR ON EACH ON BOTH SIDES, NOW BOTH ARE OUT AND I CAN ONLY USE MY HIGH BEAMS. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO CHANGE MY REAR LIGHTS ONCE. *TR

I OWN A 2005 AND A 2006 KIA SORENTO EX. IN BOTH VEHICLES I MUST REPLACE LIGHTBULBS CONTINUALLY. ON AVERAGE, I REPLACE HEADLIGHTS APPROXIMATELY ONCE EVERY 60 TO 90 DAYS. BRAKE LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT IS LESS FREQUENT, BUT DOES OCCUR OFTEN WITHIN THE YEAR. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THESE VEHICLES BUT KIA WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY PROBLEMS. *TR

THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT ON THIS ISSUE. I CURRENTLY HAVE NO WORKING HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2005 KIA SORENTO, AGAIN. THE LIGHT BULBS GO OUT EVERY THREE TO SIX MONTHS. THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE LIGHT JUST WENT OUT AS WELL. I KEEP HAVING TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON BECAUSE I KEEP LOSING ONE OR BOTH OF MY HEADLIGHTS. THIS WILL BE THE 5TH TIME I REPLACE THE BULBS IN A YEAR'S TIME. KIA TELLS ME THERE IS NO PROBLEM AND THAT THEY WILL CHARGE ME $48 PER BULB TO CHANGE THEM AND GUARANTEE THEM FOR A 12 MONTH PERIOD. I SEE ALOT OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 KIA SORENTO. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE LIGHT BULBS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 58,469 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

BASICALLY, I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO CHANGE LIGHTS. (I.E. BRAKE LIGHTS, INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS). *TR

HEADLIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST 5 TIMES IN THE 3 YEARS I'VE HAD THE SORENTO. I KEEP MY HEADLIGHTS OFF DURING THE DAY AND IT SEEMED TO DELAY THE BULB GOING OUT AS FAST AS IT DID WHEN I KEPT THEM ON ALL DAY. I KEEP REPLACEMENT BULBS IN MY VEHICLE AT ALL TIMES DUE TO THIS. YOU CAN BUY THEM FOR $5.00 AT YOUR LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE. KIA NEEDS TO RECALL THIS...WAY TOO MANY COMPLAINTS FOR NOTHING TO BE WRONG. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 KIA SORENTO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HAD TO REPLACE HER FRONT HEADLAMP LIGHT BULBS APPROXIMATELY ELEVEN TIMES AND THE BRAKE LIGHT BULBS TWICE. THERE WERE NO RECALLS AVAILABLE ON THIS YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL VEHICLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 67,869 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

LIGHTING PROBLEM IN MY 2005 KIA SORENTO LX. IN 2006, MY DOME LIGHT STOPPED WORKING IN THE "DOOR" POSITION (I DIDN'T GET IT FIXED). SINCE 2006, I HAVE REPLACED MY KIA'S LEFT HEADLIGHT 3 TIMES AND THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT 2 TIMES. I NOW HAVE MY RIGHT HEADLIGHT OUT AGAIN AND THE REAR LEFT BRAKE LIGHT AS WELL. SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED TOO MANY TIMES TO BE NORMAL, I CALLED KIA. THE KIA DEALERSHIP SAYS IT REQUIRES "KIA LIGHTBULBS" AT $50/EACH AS WELL AS A $75 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO CHECK THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. KIA CLAIMS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH AFTER MANUFACTURE LIGHT BULBS AND THAT ONLY "KIA LIGHTBULBS" WILL WORK. CHECKING THE INTERNET, I FOUND NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM 2005 SORENTO OWNERS. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I LUCKED OUT THAT ONLY ONE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AT A TIME, OTHERWISE, I WOULD HAVE HAD NO HEADLIGHTS. NOT TO MENTION THE COST IN REPLACEMENT LIGHTBULBS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 KIA SORENTO. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT ILLUMINATING. THE DEALER REPLACED THE LIGHT BULB , AND, APPROXIMATELY THREE OR FOUR MONTHS LATER, THE BULB WAS REPLACED AGAIN. THE LIGHT BULB STOPPED WORKING AGAIN THREE MONTHS LATER. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BULB ONCE MORE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. ALSO, THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT STOPPED WORKING. THE DEALER REPLACED THE LIGHT BULB FOR THE FOURTH TIME. SINCE THE LAST REMEDY, THERE HAVE BEEN NO OTHER FAILURES. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE 47,000.*AK

I PURCHASED MY 2005 KIA SORENTO IN THE FALL OF 2004. IT IS NOW MAY OF 2006. I HAVE REPLACED 5 HEADLIGHT BULBS IN THIS TIME. THEY BEGAN TO GO BAD ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, AND I HAVE REPLACED ONE EVERY 30-45 DAYS. BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE BULBS ARE EFFECTED. KIA DEALERSHIP IN LANSING SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING. VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *NM

HEADLIGHTS FREQUENTLY GO OUT. I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE THEM TWICE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR ONE YEAR AGO. THEY GET EXTREMELY HOT AND ALMOST MELT. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IT SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH A SIMILAR PROBLEM. *JB

I HAVE HAD THE HEADLIGHTS O 2005 KIA SORENTO REPLACED TWICE NOW. THEY BOTH WENT OUT WITHIN A DAY OF EACH OTHER THE FIRST TIME. I HAD TO PAY 129.00 ON THE CAR WAS LES THAN I YEAR OLD. THE SECOND TIME THEY REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS SERIOUS. ALOT OF KIA OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING BUY KIA SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG. THERE MUST BE. CAN YOU HELP GET KIA TO RECALL & FIX THIS PROBLEM?*AK

ON MY 2005 KIA SORENTO I HAVE BURNED OUT 4 SETS OF LOW BEAMS IN 8 MONTHS. KIA HAS NO ANSWERS FOR ME AND IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS A GROWING GROUP OF OWBERS, ON LINE, THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS.*AK
