| Description of the problem | Keeps blowing out low beam head lites. Replaced four times in the last year. Took in to dealer to look at. Was told nothing they could do about it. I found out by online research that this is not just a couple reports. It is dangerous at nite we have to drive with daylites. Not bright enough for driving. It is a safety issue. Kia will not do anything to fix problem that is a safety issue. Needs government investigation before someone gets killed. |
