Description of the problem | Headlights and taillights have been replaced at least 5 times in the 3 years i've had the sorento. I keep my headlights off during the day and it seemed to delay the bulb going out as fast as it did when i kept them on all day. I keep replacement bulbs in my vehicle at all times due to this. You can buy them for $5. 00 at your local auto parts store. Kia needs to recall this... Way too many complaints for nothing to be wrong. |
