Description of the problem	My 2013 kia sorrento's parking lights were on this afternoon on saturday august 22, 2015 at approximately 2:30 pm est. I went outside to place something in my vehicle when i noticed the parking lights were on. I had parked my vehicle at 1:00 am when i returned from running an errand. I parked, made sure all the lights were turned off, armed the security system and went inside. Before my wife and i went to bed i went out to make sure that i turned all lights off which they were. This was at 2:00 am. The vehicle had not been touched since that time. This is not the first time that this has happened. I have had it in to the dealership twice already where they claim they cannot replicate the problem. We have had to have our vehicle jumped at least 12 times due to a dead battery caused by this problem. The vehicle falls well within it's warranty so it will be covered however the issue is serious enough that it warrants attention which i believe will be ignored if not brought to light and may result in injuries or cost to others when no cost should be incurred. I believe that this is an electrical issue that needs to be addressed immediately. I feel this could lead to problems with steering, braking system, engine malfunction as well as possible risks of fire due to a faulty electrical system.
