Tail Light Switch problems of the 2005 Kia Motor Sorento

Noticed that I had a brake light out on the passenger side,replaced it with proper bulb 1157. A double filament bulb. It appears that is also the tail light? checked light and it worked but later realized that when I pressed the brake pedal the brake light was out. The next day noticed the driver tail light was out and replaced it but later realized the brake light didnt work,as well as my cruise control stopped working at the same time. Went to an auto care store they replaced both of the lightsand again tail lights worked but when I pressed brake pedal no lights. Checked and replaced the fuse just to be sure and at this point I got on the internet and seen 285 complaints with the same problem and the majority of them said there cruise control had stopped working as well as the sportage model and the kia soul. Most suggestions said replace the brake switch. I also checked for faulty wiring and that has not appeared to be the problem and mechanics 90 % of the time were unable to resolve the issue. Why has there not been a recall or some solution to this problem researched by kia mechanics? im still waiting for the answer and I suspect many other people are too!!!!!!thank you very much and ihope you will be able to solve this or issue a recall on the brake switch? or the cruise control sensor maybe idk.

Help!! I am constantly replacing head lights, tail lights, brake lights, fog lights. Every single month it's one light or another in a continuous cycle. I see many complaints for this same issue. I love my kia sorrento other than this problem. I feel that this is a safety issue as much as it is a nuisance not to mention an expense!!! kia, do the right thing!! please.

I constantly have to change tail lights and head lights on my vehicle. Every 4/5 months they are going out. Also the interior light above in the back seating area does not come on when the doors are open, only if manually pressed on and off. The light behind the panel controlling the heat/air temperatures is no longer functional. No one else seems to change their lights as frequently as I do, if at all since they've had their cars. It seems to be an issue with the electrical system.

I have a 2005 kia Sorento that constantly has headlights, tail lights, fog lights & brake lights that constantly go out. I normally have to replace one of these lights at least once a month. . . . . . I've started keeping my receipts because hopefully kia will stand by their vehicles and finally do a recall on this. I look online and several people are complaining about the same issue, but it looks as if kia isn't standing by their vehicle. I have no intention on purchasing a kia again. I have called their service department quite a few times to see if their has been a recall issued yet, but the servicemen seem to blow the issue off.

Headlights replaced with xenon headlights. They blew, both at the same time, about 60 days after installation. Then I replaced them again with the same lights, again, one blew about 3 months later. Replaced them with regular headlights. Drivers side blew, replaced it, both blew again about 4 months later. Last week, drivers side went, replaced it, and the passenger side blew the very next day. With the amount of complaints I have seen online, kia should be doing something about this. I have also had to change side markers, tail lights (twice) and a directional (twice). I have only owned the vehicle since 10/2010.

This car is a safety hazard. Headlights/tail lights/dashboard lights burn out within months of replacements. Just burned through 5 fuses for the dashboard in one day. Dealership will not fix as there has been no recall. Google the make and model and you will see many electrical issues and angry owners. Have a teen driver in the family and we are afraid to let her even drive this car. Please recall this model and make kia own up to their responsibilities!!!!.

I have a 2005 kia Sorento. The tail lights, tag lights, head lights, and running lights are constantly going up. This is a major safety issue and I am sick and tired of spending a small fortune in bulbs for this car. I bought the car new in 2005 and have had this problem since a few months after purchasing. Kia will not acknowledge that there is a problem or put a recall on the vehicle. For the safety of my two kids who are passengers in this vehicle, please do something about this.
