Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Low beam headlights, keep replacing bulbs, exact bulbs required by kia. Alternating either the driver's side or the passenger. Beside this problem, the headlights are so low that at night i have been running with high beams on for over a year now; on-coming cars don't seem to be bothered by the high beams. Usually high beams cause on coming vehicles to flash their high beams, but this is not the case, we've discussed with firestone, they tested the bulbs and believe it is electrical. Since reviewing your on-line complaints on this issue, we'd expect a recall by kia! We'd like to see that, at no cost, instead of it being our expense. I had several chevy camaro for years, never experienced this problem. Only recalling headlights being replaced one or twice!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
