Description of the problem	I purchase my 2005 kia sorrento lx new from taylor kia in toledo ohio. Also purchased extra warranty for bumper to bumper. A couple months after i had purchase vehicle my headlight started going out i would take it back get it fixed come back home and another one would be out take it back come back to weeks later another headlight would be out. Then the headlights &taillights would go out and brake lights would go out this went on with every single light on my vehicle. Continue to call taylor kia to have the service then about the sixth time one of my lights went out they told me they would not service my vehicle anymore even though it was completely covered everything on my vehicle from bumper-to-bumper. They also red flag to me on their computer so that i could not have my vehicle service because of this problem with my kia sorrento. At one point i even had the service manager tell me that his service guys were upset with me because i did not give them a good rating when my car was not fixed to jd powers. I got kia corporate involved which did absolutely no good because they said that they would someone someone from california to fix my vehicle and ended up not sending anyone sent a wire harness instead. Of course that's did not fix the problem but they would not do anything else to try to find out why all my lights on my vehicles was going out at one time or another. They also told me that my kia was the only one that ever had this problem and they had never heard of this problem before but i could clearly drive down the street see other kia sorrento's with headlights out. Then i got online and read about how many kia had the same problem but kia corporate would not do a thing about it and taylor kia would not do anything at that point. Now my car is broke down with the cam sensor and also crank sensor and bolt because of an issue with these kia sorrento's.
