Description of the problem	My sister-in-law owns a 2006 kia sorento and both rear tail lights are out and do not function, only the 3rd middle light works. I have since personally observed 4 kia sorentos in the los angeles area on the road with the left, right or both rear tail lights not functioning. I have also observed 3 kia sorentos in the sf bay area with the same problem. Other kia products may also have this issue but it is a major problem/concern with the sorento. This is a safety issue and may result in an accident or injury. Your action to contact the manufacturer is needed for a long term solution and/or recall. *jb
