problem #2

Optima LX 3.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 77,776 miles

I got my car in 2016 and when I got it I noticed the left headlight was dim and had it repaired. In less than 6 months I had to replace both high and low beans on both sides. Now only the low beam works on the passenger side and the high beams are blown again. I will need to go to have them fixed again because when I get off from work it is dark and I have to drive the express way home in the evening. KIA should do something about this immediately.

Replaced several light bulbs for front and rear. Thinking it was an electrical issue. Brought into Kia dealer and they want to charge $1075.61 to replace front right headlight assembly. NOT GONNA HAPPEN. I will keep replacing the bulbs in order for it to pass inspection.

All of my lights have gone out at various times throughout 2017, so, I thought this was an electrical issue. Kia never said anything about the other lights going out.
