1 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 10/18/2013

I was stopped by a fhp officer on my way home one Friday evening for my left headlights being out. I didn't know they were out until he stopped me. I didn't get a ticket, only a warning. The officer said it was very dangerous to be driving on the interstate with my lights out. A couple years back I was stopped in valdosta for the same reason. This has happened at least 50 times or more since I have had this car. My lights go out every couple of months and sometimes I don't know there out until someone stops me or I can hardly see to drive. It is very dangerous and I think kia should recall this model and fix the problem. I am not the only one who is having this problem. I have over 100+ posts from this site of others with the same problem. Are they going to wait until someone is killed in an accident before kia will do something about it. I have talked to a lawyer and I plan to start a class action lawsuit against kia if they don't do something about this situation. There are plenty of others who are ready also. The kia dealers want do anything to help with this, and they know it is a problem that is from the factory. All they ever say is it's not covered under the warranty. I bought this car new in 2005. I went down to south florida to visit in 2005 and on the way down all my headlights went out. I couldn't see to drive at all so we had to stop for the night and wait till morning to get it fixed. It cost me over $80. 00 to get it fixed the first time. Since they go out on a monthly basis, my husband has been fixing them. It is getting quite expensive to keep replacing the bulbs and it's very annoying and dangerous as well!!.

2 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 07/04/2005

I have a 2005 kia Sorento. I have had a problem with my headlights since I have had my car which I bought new in 2005. I have taken it to the dealer in valdosta GA several times to find out about it and they always say it's not a recall so they can't do anything about it. I have to replace headlights and taillights every 3 or 4 months. It is very expensive. My dome light hasn't worked in years and my check engine light stays on all the time. I know there is some kind of defect in the electrical system and it's been this way from the beginning. The 10 year/100,000. 00 mile warranty is about useless with this car. There has not been one thing since I have had the car that was covered under warranty. I will never buy a kia again and I certainly want ever use kia in valdosta GA again, they have the worst service I have ever seen. There favorite thing to say is "it's not covered under our warranty!" that is supposedly there big selling point and it is worthless! everyone who is having the same trouble needs to complain so we can get this recalled and fixed. I wish I knew where to complain to that could make that happen. They don't really care in valdosta whether you complain or not, there not going to do anything about it anyway. Well I have been stopped numerous times by the police for my lights being out. So far I have not got a ticket, but it is highly dangerous to have no lights while driving at night and you never know when they are going to be out. I know I am not the only one having this problem, I have well over 100 emails from repair pal about others having headlight problems. This needs to be recalled before someone is killed in an accident and then sue the kia company. Sick of buying headlights!.
