Problems with 2011 Kia Sorento EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Vehicles interior lights, interior dash lights, headlights and other panel lights click and flicker off and on during various periods of time. the headlights stay off for a few seconds and repetitively at random times. this has occurred both early in the morning, in the evenings, it also happens just in the middle of the day to the dash lights and with the clicking. this has occurred in winter as well as summer. originally it only occurred when it was raining, now it occurs daily. this has occurred when the vehicle has been in park and while driving on highways, on back roads, also at stop lights or a stop sign. the clicking has also occurred when the vehicle has been off, it will start making clicking noises coming from the dash area, the same noise as it makes when the headlights and interior and dash lights flicker when it is on. also after having a recall repaired i am still having problems with the engine start stop not starting, as well as the doors not unlocking with the kia remote or by pushing the button on the exterior handle. the vehicle has also lost steering control during excessive ...

Headlights come on and off randomly. this is a serious safety hazard that can cause deaths or injuries. i'm very afraid and extremely nervous when this happens especially when i have my children in the car. i've had to replace the lights about every other month which is ridiculously expensive

Headlight low beam light not working. replaced bulb and within a few weeks, it would work intermittently. i could wiggle the connection and light would come back on. then that no longer worked. i took the bulb out of the connection to replace and noticed the connection was melted where the bulb connects to the wire harness. i removed bulb until connection can be replaced.

The low beam lighting "h11" pigtail is a melted connector and the low beam lighting is going out constantly. we have replaced the lights and the pigtail twice this year.

Vehicle has consistently needed headlights replaced every 3 months. vehicle lights will come on and or off while driving in the dark. this is a deadly safety hazard and should be remedied.

My room lp fuse keeps blowing. it had a recall for the same problem. i went out and started my car and seen that the clock and interior lights were not working. i pulled fuse put a new one in and when i started it again it blew again. then the airbag light came on and it is staying on. i have replaced the room lp fuse about 12 times. it was a recall got fixed and having the same problem again.

I have had the front passenger high and low beam replaced twice and it is out again. this is the second time this year within 6 months

I have a head lights that keep going in and out . i have had it repairs a lot of times but it keeps doing it . ithen got a paper in the mail for a extension on the lights for my model vehicle cause the connectors in the headlight assembly needed to be replaced so i took it to kia. they told me that because i had it fixed so many time that theres not enough wire to replace it again this was on may 14 2019 and they said that my whole headlight assembly needed to be changed in order to fix it but they would have to ask kia for coverage . on may 30th i called again to see if they were gonna cover it and they said no even tho this a safety concern. that because i didn't go to them to fix it in the first place they wont cover it .

Engine light is on, keeps stalling out at a stop or when turning, smells like something burning, now making a rough grinding noise from motor. keeps going through oil, putting two quarts of oil in every other day. passenger side door in back wont open from the outside. the passenger side headlight keeps blowing out, the tires on the front end keep going bold.

My vehicle has continuously melted wiring harness after wiring harness that run my headlights. not sure if this happens while in motion or stationary, i just notice it when i am down to one headlight. this has become very dangerous because i constantly have to drive in the dark with one headlight. also it really scares me that my vehicle is melting wires that connect to other wires that could easily cause a fire!

Headlamps quit working, even though i have repeatedly replaced. happens about 1 every three weeks. usually happens on the highway during night driving.

My air bag light stays on and my headlights are black and have melted wires

First warning sign was the headlight, low beams, and all interior electronics would shut completely off for about 2 seconds randomly when the turn signal was used. next the driver side headlight, low beam, went out when replacing the bulb the replacement bulb worked until the bulb was placed in the socket. after cleaning the sockets to create a better connection, still nothing worked. i switched bulbs from driver to passenger to see if the bulb would get a good connection on the passenger side and now neither low beam headlight works. this is a light switch issue that was recalled for 2012-16 kia sorento's but i'm having the same issue in a 2011.

Left headlight connecter melted and shorts out the connection to the light bulb. overheats really bad. will have to replace the entire headlight assembly.

Wiring is bad for headlights, melted the headlight assembly. replaced that and then it melted the wires connected to the headlights.
