Starting within a month of the purchase of my 2005 KIA Sorento. I began having headlights and tail lights go out. Eventually in 2012, all my dash lights failed and the passenger air bag consistently said AIRBAG OFF even with an adult in the passenger seat. Even though KIA previously recalled and fixed the head light wiring harness in 2008 or 2009, this was NOT under warranty according to my dealer. $1200.00 later, it was supposed to be all fixed.
Recently, as of last week, I had to take it to the dealer again as the brake light was out...again. I have already replaced more headlights and tail lights in this car than in the last 5 cars I owned. My husband has a Dodge pickup (1998) that has never blown a headlight or tail light to date. I do not plan to purchase another KIA even though my dealer is telling me that 'KIA has fixed all those issues in the newer cars.' Yeah? Well they never fixed mine!

I have had to replace the lights on my Kia many times. It is hard to get them in and out. Not sure how many times I have had this fixed.
