Wiring problems of the 2012 Kia Motor Sorento

Intermittent connection to passengers side headlamp bulb, causing overheated connector and wiring.

Since I purchased this vehicle brand new in December 2011 I have had to replace the headlight wiring 4 times and have to change the headlight bulb at least once every 2-3 months. Each time I have had the wiring harness replaced after the third light bulb change the wiring harness begins to melt and then loses connection with the bulb therefor my headlights are intermittent.

My headlight pigtail caught on fire. . . I had it replaced . . . Replaced the headlights in it and not even 2 weeks later the pig tail caught on fire again. . . They said it must ne a shortage in the wiring somewhere and it will start at 200$ to look at it to fix. . . . Mu car isnt that old to have this issue.

My front "low beam" head lamps go out frequently. It has happened at night on a dark road, with my children in the car. Extremely dangerous! I have just continued to buy new lights, replace & do over & over. Finally it no longer worked. I had it checked out & the connector and some wiring was melted. I paid to have this fixed, only to have it happen again 2 - 3 weeks later. I just had it fixed again, but am scared to drive this car! 1st engine failed while going down the road @ 45 mph. . . It could have ended far worse. That has been fixed, but my wiring/headlamps are a huge problem & concern. I have also had to replace my brake lights more times in the past 5 years than I have in 20 years I've owned my 1998 camry. This has to fall under a recall to be fixed by kia. It's defective parts & assembly and could be fatal! this has happened multiple times while driving late at night and almost caused me to slam into a deer. I have even rented a car when driving on vacation for fear of my car having this malfunction or worse. Please help me. My family is surviving on basically 1 income & this newest hurdle is that " proverbial straw". . . Date listed below is today's date of the most recent repair. I can get the date about 3 week's ago if you need it. I have also bought all of the headlamps and brake lights that I have replaced from the same auto supply store to my knowledge. So I can get those records as well if needed.

While driving at highway speeds all dashboard instrumentation, a/c and headlights were lost. It was later determined that a short in the driver¿s seat wiring harness had blown the fuse for control module #2 resulting in the aforementioned instrumentation and safety equipment.

Have to replace the bulb in my headlight. Used to be every 4-5 months. Now, it's 3 times in the last two weeks. After taking it to shop, wiring is shorting out, melting plastic around bulb and connection to car. Can not just replace little socket, like in most cars, kia wants you to replace the entire wiring harness, to the tune of over $500 for the part alone, not counting labor. After searching online, found thousands of complaints about the same issue for the last 9-10 years.
