Sorento

  • 5,000 miles
Headlights and taillights have been replaced at least 5 times in the 3 years I've had the Sorento. I keep my headlights off during the day and it seemed to delay the bulb going out as fast as it did when I kept them on all day. I keep replacement bulbs in my vehicle at all times due to this. You can buy them for $5 at your local auto parts store. Kia needs to recall this...way too many complaints for nothing to be wrong.
