Description of the problem	The headlights have repeatedly burned out. I would estimate that i have replaced the right side low beam 8-10 times and the left side 3-5 times. It's been roughly a 2:1 ratio. This last time both headlights burned out within an hour of each other at night. Fortunately i keep an extra bulb in the car and i was able to change out one of them so i didn't have to drive home with no headlights at all. This was a potentially dangerous situation. I have researched this and while i don't see a recall i do see that many owners have posted on forums that they're having the same issue. Just as a point of reference my 2014 silverado had the headlights replaced in 2017 after an accident and have i have yet to replace a headlight while driving the chevy approximately the same number of miles as the kia.
