Description of the problem	There has been multiple times of me changing both headlights and taillights. Now my brake lights are out at the same time along with one headlight. The lights are not even 2 weeks old. It really is scary to know that my lights can go out at any time. (which has happened, thankfully not when it was completely dark) and today, i almost got into a wreck because i wasn't aware that my 2 week old tail lights are out. My dash board lights and my dome light flickers and i have to hit the top of the dashboard for them to come back on. This has been going on for about 2 years and i have seen a lot of the same complaints with this make and year. Kia really needs to do something about this. *jb
