2006 Kia Sorento Exterior lighting Problems

“Since purchasing my Sorento in 2008 my husband has had to change headlights and\or break lights at least once a month sometimes more. On two occasions I was driving in the dark when I've lost both headlights and had to use the high beams. So in 7 years we have replaced approximately 84 headlights and/or breaklights.”

“I just got my Kia a year ago and I love it but we are changing the head lights every month and I never get the recalls in the mail for anything so I think it needs to be looked at. Buying lights every month add up to a lot of money after awhile. And if I was driving down the road and both went out at night someone could get hurt.”

“All my lights both internal & external are burning out every few months. And I've had to replace my battery times also. My headlights are replaced every 4-5 months now, first starting out every year has now dropped to months. The battery lasts from 10-13 months before having to be replaced. Now parking & brake lights are burning out at a rate of about every 6 months. …”

“I have had to replace the lights at least three times a year on this vehicle since ownership many times. In addition, I have had to replace the fuel pump 2 and the whole steering system twice also. I was told that there is a recall on the vehicles of my make, model and year but not on my specific vehicle. So im stuck with a vehicle breaking down on me at least once a year that has a recall for other vehicles in the same model and year.”

“2006 Kia Sorento complaint: engine , steering, electrical system , exterior lighting ,throttle position sensor I am changing the head lights every 4-5 month and I think it needs to be looked at. Was driving 35 MPH when the engine light and brake light came on with no warning. And just last week 2/2/2014 the engine stopped and I had no power steering and also no brakes. I was able to coast to a side road and barely got the vehicle to stop. …”
