Description of the problem	In february of '06 we bought a new kia sorento. After the 1st year we have had to replace 4 headlights. 2 tail lights, 2 dome lights and 1 clock. Clock and dome light were covered under warranty but not the headlights. The 3rd headlight was replaced last week on 1/19/09 (passenger side) and the drivers side replaced today 1/28/09. Also while on vacation in the summer of '08, the battery had to be replaced. Kia has to be aware of this problem but has failed to acknowledge it with free replacements. However, the service dept. Did tell me that in the past 2 years he has replaced more headlight bulbs than you could imagine. If this is indeed an electrical problem, how safe is my wife driving this automobile. I have called their corporate office with my concern and their response has been, "well headlights do burn out" . I do know of other owners who have had the same problem. Please help before someone is injured. Thank you
