Clock keeps resetting itself and I have gone through 8 headlights in less than 6 months. Kia says use their $50 headlights. This is ridiculous!

Sorento 4WD 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 29,000 miles
Headlights frequently go out. I have had to change them twice since I bought the car one year ago. They get extremely hot and almost melt. This is extremely dangerous and it seems like there are many others with a similar problem.
