| Description of the problem | The passenger tail light went dim (while braking) and then stopped working (only when braking). Replacing the bulb does not fix the problem. Kia dealer says they will have to put on a machine and they think its an internal computer issue. I have noticed many other sorento's with the exact same tail light out when braking. |
