Description of the problem	I purchased a 2006 kia sorento back in february 2011. Since i have purchased the vehicle i have replaced the headlights. 3 times. Every failure occurred on interstate 64. I have taken the vehicle to have them changed where they have not touched the lamps and have completed a proper install. It appears that for a second the vehicle has no power and the headlights flash off then on. The headlights going on then back on is a regular occurrence. The last occurrence yesterday 6/3/2011 happened about 2 am while driving through daniel boone national forest and made the vehicle un-drivable until daytime hours when it could be safely driven to a shop for the headlights to be replaced again and left my family stranded on the side of the road unable to see to drive home for approximately some 45 miles from our home.
