Tail Light Switch problems of the 2006 Kia Motor Sorento

I purchased this vehicle used from a local dealership back in 2013. It had 53000 miles on it I bought the extended warranty and have been unable to use it due to when the issues developed. Within three months I had to replace the passenger side then driver side low beam lights and the front and rear tail lights. This has occurred while driving. I had to do this about once a year. I recently June 2016 changed the passenger side bulb low beam again. Now I have noticed I have no tag lights. I ordered replacement bulbs from the dealership and had them installed and they still do not work. Yet no fuses are blown and there is no smell of burning wires or melted wires anywhere.

Since the day I purchased this vehicle I have had to replace the headlights or tail lights almost every other month. I believe there is something wrong with the electrical system. Lately the lights and the fan will not shut off on the car. I had to pull out the battery just to get it to go off. The ac and heater switch back and forth constantly. One day you can only use the heater then the next week you can only use the ac. I have replace switches over and over and it only temporarily fixes these problems. Gas mileage is absolutely terrible.

Just driving down the road in the neighborhood. Made a turn on to a street and heard a loud noise and engine cut off and power steering had quit working. If I was going fast would have been a wreck. I got it stopped and had to have it towed home. My husband looked under hood and a belt was loose and the crankshaft bolt was laying there broke off. Called kia and they said it is not under warranty for that. I have 92,500 on my SUV and the powertrain is for 100,000 miles but they say a bolt is not covered. I have read online - this has happened to several people. Now hundreds of dollars to have it fixed. Should be a recall before someone gets killed. . . Also they should recall about the head and tail lights - they have to have a bulb replaced at least once a month and the interior light does not work. Has been this way since I bought the vehicle.

I purchased this car in new in 2006 I have replace four tail lights and as of today when the head light went out this will be the fifth headlight, I am afraid for my daughter to park in the garage in case it should set the house on fire,there is obviously a short in the electrical system.

2006 Sorento ex was bought in 2009, with 56,000 miles. Currently has 103,000 miles and is a constant electrical battle. Have replaced numerous headlights and tail lights. The interior dome light only works when manually switched "on," and the "a/c" setting control dial only lights up after you fiddle with it. The driver's seat motor has partially died so that the seat reclines back but will not go straight up again. The front two window motors seem to be on their last legs. The front passenger door lock actuator mechanism died last year and would make an awful, loud buzzing sound whenever the door lock button would be pressed. The interior dash lights are starting to intermittently go out. It's quite scary to be driving along at night and everything on the panel goes black. Have replaced battery once since buying it when it died with absolutely no warning.

There has been multiple times of me changing both headlights and taillights. Now my brake lights are out at the same time along with one headlight. The lights are not even 2 weeks old. It really is scary to know that my lights can go out at any time. (which has happened, thankfully not when it was completely dark) and today, I almost got into a wreck because I wasn't aware that my 2 week old tail lights are out. My dash board lights and my dome light flickers and I have to hit the top of the dashboard for them to come back on. This has been going on for about 2 years and I have seen alot of the same complaints with this make and year. Kia really needs to do something about this.

The head and tail lights have to be replaced on a regular basis. I have replaced all 4 lights at least 6 - 10 times each, since buying the 2006 Sorento brand new. And it is my understanding from numerous others that this is a norm with this make and model car. You can replace one light and it will be okay for awhile, but then another one will go out, I have asked the mechanic if this is normal, seeing I have not replaced the lights in my 1996 chevy a fraction of the times I have the Sorento. The replay was, no this is not normal that their must be an electrical problem somewhere in the system. I also have problems with the cruise control feature. It will not resume, or accelerate. The other two buttons work as designed.

Headlights (low beam), tail lights keep burning out every two to three months consistently. Always have to replace which is not only expensive but a danger to myself and other drivers. Car is a 2006 kia Sorento ex.

This 2006 kia Sorento has other electrical issues other than just the brake switch. We are constantly replacing the bulbs in the headlights, tail lights, brake lights and parking lights. This is become a complete pain in the neck. I feel it is a safety issue since how my lights go out for no apparent reason. We have also noticed that during the day when we are not using the dash lights that when we apply the brakes the dash lights come on and so do the parking lights. The fact that I drive around without knowing when my lights are blown or not can create a terrible accident. Please look into this further.

Headlights both sides will go out on regular basis without warning -dash lights go out on regular basis-a/c unit will short out causing burn smell -window switches and tail lights will stop working on regular basis I have found many complaints about these problems.

The day after we purchased this vehicle I had to change the right brake light, sinse then I've had to change the headlights both at least twice, assorted tail lights each side at least three times, the front dome light will not come on when you open the doors but can be swiched on, now dash lights are going off one at a time some can be wiggled and come on for a few seconds. This has gone from annoying to a safety issue, and I read a lot of people on line with 06 Sorentos have the same problem and have been told by the deeler that it will cost them a lot of money to fix. I feel like all the others this should be kia's responibility to fix.

I have had to replace at least a head light and/or tail light about once every three months since I bought my vehicle. It seems like there is a short somewhere but none to be found; please help!.

I have replaced well over 10 headlight bulbs in my kia Sorento. I'm a fanatic about making sure my car is in the best of order. Once a bulb is out it is replaced the same day. At first I thought, "yeah bulbs burn out," but come on already. I have every receipt showing how many I have bought and replaced. What gives? dome lights, tail lights and such have been replaced too however there have been way more low-beam light bulbs replaced then I believe is normal.

I replace the headlights and fog lights at least every 3-6 months, I've even replace parking lights and tail lights. I bought my 2006 kia brand new and every year since, its the same thing. . . Kia really needs to address this, as these Sorentos can run forever but if we can't see where we are going, that's a problem.

I have had to replace the headlight bulbs 5 times and tail light bulbs 4 times. The 2006 kia Sorento was purchased new. This is not normal. An electrical problem is evident. I do a great deal of driving at night and there is a safety issue with the head lights and tail lights not being dependable. Not to mention the fact that getting pulled over by law officers due to this problem is a huge inconvenience.
