| Description of the problem | Help!! I am constantly replacing head lights, tail lights, brake lights, fog lights. Every single month it's one light or another in a continuous cycle. I see many complaints for this same issue. I love my kia sorrento other than this problem. I feel that this is a safety issue as much as it is a nuisance not to mention an expense!!! Kia, do the right thing!! Please. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
