Wiring problems of the 2013 Kia Motor Forte

Tl- the contact owns a 2013 kia Forte. The contact noticed her check engine light was illuminated while driving at 50 mph, she stopped for fuel and the check engine light went off. The contact stated the vehicle would sputter and shake while the vehicle was in park with no engine light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic store where it was diagnosed with a misfire short in the wiring. The contact stated while parked a burning odor was detected. The vehicle has not been repaired. The local dealer was not informed of the failure. The manufacture was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 150,000 ac.

I have had this car for about 8 years now and I have had issues with the rear tail light/ brake light bulbs continuously blowing out. I have to replace them almost every 1-2 months. When replacing them, they are very hot. Not sure if this is a wiring issue among many other Fortes as I had read upon numerous complaints from owners with the same issue.

I purchased this kia in 2014, since then, I have had to repeatedly replace the headlights, tail / brake lights and the license plate lights. The plastic part of the connectors have dried out and are breaking into pieces due to the wiring getting too hot, as the parts that are left are now starting to melt. I have owned several different cars and I have never had to replace the lights as much as in this car. Also, another issue is the driver side seat belt doesn't want to unlatch. I will be parked and it would sometimes take about 2 min for it to unlatch. Sometimes I would think it wasn't ever going to unlatch and I would be trapped.
