“I have a 2004 Kia sedona which I have replace headlights so many times, now there is a problem with the rear lights, when I turn headlights on there are no back lights. You want to talk about dangerous driving at night. Apparently you can replace the fuse but there is no guarantee that the fuse will not blow and how are you to know when you are driving at night as the dash lights stay on. Please let me know if anyone else has had this major problem. This has happened several times and now I have to pay $500.00 to get this modular replaced.”
NHTSA complaint #10386581, filed 2011-03, 102,000 miles“The contact stated all of the exterior lights have blown. Both the headlights and taillights have been replaced 2 times each. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection; however the cause of problem could not be determined. The manufacturer has been alerted.”
