I've seen a few reviews and complaints on how kia's (sorento's in particular) have been losing their headlights for no reason. this has also happened to me, but just on my driver side fortunately. the main bulb is not illuminating and will not come on. i changed the bulb and this did not fix the problem. i looked at the old bulb i replaced and it was fine, nothing was shot or burnt out. i have seen a couple of people saying this could be a connector problem which in fact has nothing to do with the bulb itself. seeing that this can come up spontaneously worries me and a lot of other drivers on the road who would need to travel at night. this should be addressed by kia and be made a recall due to the fact this happens on practically newer vehicles (my mileage is 31000) i will refrain from keeping my lights on the "auto" setting (which will be a waste of money now) since the problem may occur from having the lights on this setting. i have not gotten the problem fixed due to how much it would cost (replacing the entire light fixture ~ $600) and this not covered by their warranty either (another waste of money if purchased) i will be reconsidering my choice with kia come next auto purchase.
While driving the panoramic sunroof imploded suddenly with out warning or being struck by anything. my husband wasn't driving at a high rate of speed or under bad weather conditions other than basic rain, luckily our inner sun shade had been closed or the glass which completely shattered could have fell on top of my self and our 3 year old daughter possibly injuring us greatly as we were sitting in the rear seats directly under it when the even occur.
While driving at night while my headlights are in auto position they will randomly turn off for a few seconds and then click back on. this has happened twice in one week. the last time, was while driving 70 mph down the interstate and my headlights went out without warning.
It was cold outside and went to get in the parked car in the morning and the back windshield shattered when i closed the driver side door.
My rear window shattered for what appears to be no reason at all. my vehicle was parked on the street, and when i went out to leave, i noticed my window was cracked. by day 2, the glass was caving, and had a hole the size of a quarter in the middle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 kia sorento. while driving 45 mph, the contact noticed that the coating on the air conditioning vent housings was reflecting into both side view mirrors, which made it very difficult to see. the dealer stated that they could paint and replace the housings on the vents. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that they would refer the issue to their interior design engineers. the approximate failure mileage was 12,529. updated 07/11/17*lj updated 9/28/18*jb
