| Description of the problem | The dim headlights in the 2015 kia sorento have burnt out multiple times. I have replaced the headlamps 4 times in a 15 month window. I am uncertain when the actual lamps burn out, but i do notice as i am driving. I do not have an auto feature on my car for the headlights so i manually turn them on before i drive. The first occurrence of this happened in march of 2018 and has burnt out multiple times since. |
