Description of the problem	I have a 2005 kia sorento. I have had a problem with my headlights since i have had my car which i bought new in 2005. I have taken it to the dealer in valdosta ga several times to find out about it and they always say it's not a recall so they can't do anything about it. I have to replace headlights and taillights every 3 or 4 months. It is very expensive. My dome light hasn't worked in years and my check engine light stays on all the time. I know there is some kind of defect in the electrical system and it's been this way from the beginning. The 10 year/100,000. 00 mile warranty is about useless with this car. There has not been one thing since i have had the car that was covered under warranty. I will never buy a kia again and i certainly want ever use kia in valdosta ga again, they have the worst service i have ever seen. There favorite thing to say is "it's not covered under our warranty!" that is supposedly there big selling point and it is worthless! Everyone who is having the same trouble needs to complain so we can get this recalled and fixed. I wish i knew where to complain to that could make that happen. They don't really care in valdosta whether you complain or not, there not going to do anything about it anyway. Well i have been stopped numerous times by the police for my lights being out. So far i have not got a ticket, but it is highly dangerous to have no lights while driving at night and you never know when they are going to be out. I know i am not the only one having this problem, i have well over 100 emails from repair pal about others having headlight problems. This needs to be recalled before someone is killed in an accident and then sue the kia company. Sick of buying headlights!
