I have had to replace low beam headlight bulbs at least 3 times in the 3 years I have owned my car. Just had my right passenger side replaced again, was working immediately after being replaced, and now the next morning when I get in my car neither headlight works. I am a single mom on a fixed income and I cannot afford to keep replacing these bulbs at $20 each time.
For years now I have replaced lights on this vehicle. I have replaced headlights at leas15 times and break lights about 20 times. On at least 5 occasions all lights burned out at once. . The fuses and relays have never been bad because when I replace the lights they work. Something is wrong with the vehicle and I have known many other kia owners to have the same problem but the dealership says nothing is wrong. I can't afford another vehicle and this is a serious safety issue.
From the first day I purchased my vehicle, I've noticed a problem with the headlights visibility. When driving, the headlamps are not aimed or focused to see more than two car lengths in front of the vehicle. I went back to kia and had them check it out. They said the lights were adjusted as far up as the state allows. I contacted kia customer service and they claim they haven't had any complaints. The visibility with the headlights is terrible. The headlights are not adjusted high enough to see when night driving. You can only see two car lengths in front of you and if depending on the terrain of the road or if there is no other area lighting, I. E. Street lights, store lights or other commercial lighting, the area beyond two car lengths is completely black. . The visibility is horrible and unsafe. It's at the point, that we're afraid to drive the car at night.
