Headlight housing has severe discoloration after only a little over 4.5 years of use. purchased the vehicle new and have had no accidents. both side markers right next of the headlight housings are as clear as glass, however, the headlight has turned very dingy, dull yellow to the point where it is very hard to see at night. upon discussing it with kia, they stated that the vehicle is out of warranty and that there was no other reported cases of this happening. i have spoken to the service manager where i get my vehicle serviced and had the headlights looked at stated likewise that kia knows that there is a problem, but will not do anything about it if the vehicle is out of warranty which it is because at the time of purchase there was only a 5/50 warranty. the price of the parts nearly $400.00 which i believe should not be charged to me since there is a clear defect in the headlight housing that is causing the discoloration to occur in such short time of ownership. this is a major safety issue that requires to be addressed by kia.
