Description of the problem	I have a 2005 kia sorento that constantly has headlights, tail lights, fog lights & brake lights that constantly go out. I normally have to replace one of these lights at least once a month...... I've started keeping my receipts because hopefully kia will stand by their vehicles and finally do a recall on this. I look online and several people are complaining about the same issue, but it looks as if kia isn't standing by their vehicle. I have no intention on purchasing a kia again. I have called their service department quite a few times to see if their has been a recall issued yet, but the servicemen seem to blow the issue off.

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.
