Clock keeps resetting itself and i have gone through 8 headlights in less than 6 months. kia says use their $50 headlights. this is ridiculous! *tr
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 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
While driving a light on the dash illuminated and the vehicle suddenly lost power. *nm the vehicle had a sensor issue which caused the panel light to flash and the power to be lost. the panel light flashed twice and stayed on the second time. the consumer was told it was an emission light and there was no other explanation. the consumer tried to have the vehicle jump started but it did not start the vehicle. the consumer was given a choice to take another vehicle same make and model as an exchange for her purchased vehicle that failed. the clock did not keep time and the light switch did not turn on the interior lights. the consumer was told that the clock for the second vehicle was on back order. the clock has to be reset every time the consumer gets in the vehicle. *tc *jb
