I have replaced many lightbulbs front and rear

My lights burn out every 6 months! The bulb costs 16.00

We bought it new and have replaced MANY headlight and stoplight bulbs, now the stoplights wont work at all even after replacing the switch, lighting has been a nightmare in this car

Headlight and tail light blows regularly from 20000 mi. up went to different brand bulb helps a lot. now ac electrical problems. magneto shorted out. cannot find parts must replace whole unit at 750.00 or more

Fixed? keeps happening with nauseating regularity

We have replaced the entire headlights twice and the bulbs many times. Argh!!!

I bought my car used, in 2009. I just replaced the passenger side headlight today. I have now replaced the headlights 5 times. Tailights have been replaced about 4 times; both sides went out at the same time! Problem with the fuel gauge light shortly after I got the car; comes on even though there is gas in the car. I have not had this fixed yet...I pretty much keep my car 1/2 to full.

Headlight bulbs need to be replaced about every 6 months, left one burns out about every three months. Brake lights also burn out quite often, about every 4 months. Ignition coil #4 is creating a fault and engine running rough when under load, will be replacing wireset, plugs and all three ignition coils just to be sure.

I haven't had a dome light that works when you open the door in about 2 years now. It will work if you turn it on manually. My head lamps, fog lights, and brake lights take turns burning out!

I had a 2004 Kia and had the same problems with my headlights. That is the only problem I really had enjoyed my Kia and looking for another one now.

headlight bulbs replaced about every year

Bulbs burn out... I have to replace about every three months. +(

Since I purchased this car a year and a half ago, I've changed my headlights 5 times. Tail once. Also, the power seat went out, and the lights behind the knobs for the heat and air are out. This makes me think of fuse issues, but the kia garage insisted it wasn't. Now, my gas indicator light's been on for months (even with a full tank of gas), and a few days ago it just wouldn't start. I love this car, but I REALLY can't afford this.

I have replaced the lights 5 times i am the original owner

I have a 2005 Kia Sorento. I have had a problem with my headlights since I have had my car which I bought new in 2005. I have taken it to the dealer in Valdosta GA several times to find out about it and they always say it's not a recall so they can't do anything about it. I have to replace headlights and taillights every 3 or 4 months. It is very expensive. My dome light hasn't worked in years and my check engine light stays on all the time. I know there is some kind of defect in the electrical system and it's been this way from the beginning. The 10 year/100,000.00 mile warrenty is about useless with this car. There has not been one thing since I have had the car that was covered under warrenty. I will never buy a Kia again and I certainly want ever use Kia in Valdosta GA again, they have the worst service I have ever seen. There favorite thing to say is "It's not covered under our warrenty!" That is supposedly there big selling point and it is worthless!
Everyone who is having the same trouble needs to complain so we can get this recalled and fixed. I wish I knew where to complian to that could make that happen. They don't really care in Valdosta whether you complain or not, there not going to do anything about it anyway.

Sick of buying headlights!

Same as all. Internal lights flicker right before a bulb blows out.
