Own a 2005 kia Sorento. We have a continuous problem with the lights burning out. This includes the headlights, brake lights, park lights, and fog lights. These lights burn out about every 3 to 4 months. Now the power seat has stopped moving forward or back. The driver's side power seat will not move forward or backward. A shorter person that my wife moved her car and she adjusted the seats. When my wife got into the car she was unable to put the seat in the original position. I have tried to jockey the switch back and forth and up and down and the seat will not move.
On a few occasions when the driver power seat was moved forward, backward or reclined, it would let you make the adjustment and stop. But if you tried to return the seat to its original position, the motor would not respond. There have been times my wife needed to go shopping and I decided to sit in the car with the baby, recline and relax. When she has returned, the seat would not move which left it in an un-drivable position. This has happened on several occasions. It seems you have to get out of the vehicle (taking pressure off the seat) and work the switch back and forth to finally get the seat to move. At times this has taken an hour in a parking lot standing in the rain or in the heat. The dealership says they never heard of such a thing and are unable to duplicate.
