Description of the problem	My front headlights keep going out. I've owned this vehicle for 3 years. It was purchased new. This is the 3rd time i've had this problem with this vehicle. I always drive with my headlights on, regardless if it's daytime or night. Sometimes the lights will function properly and other times the headlight(s) won't. I'd on occasion pop open the hood and using a closed fist, hit the top of the assembly and the light would go on....... Now it will not go on no matter what i do. Like i mentioned earlier, this is the 3rd time this has happened. The first 2 times i had the dealership that i purchased the vehicle at repair the problem at my cost. Now i read blog pages that this is a common problem for several kia models but no safety recall has ever been issued. How can having no working headlights not be a safety issue. ??
