Description of the problem	I have replaced about 5-7 driver's front headlamp bulbs and need to replace it again. This is very annoying because every couple of months it goes out, not to mention the cost of the bulbs and to have someone put them in. I am ready to get rid of this vehicle!!! I have checked with kia and of course, they say they have not had any complaints or have had any problems with the headlamps, liars!!! I wish they would fix this problem. Hopefully someone can help me.
