| I have had this vehicle since february 2004. since i purchased it, i have had to replace the headlights about every three months. they do not go out at the same time. one goes, then several weeks later the other goes. i have taken to replacing them both at the same time, since i know they will both go out within a few weeks of each other. *jb | |||

| At less than 21k miles a low beam headlight burned out. we don't use them for drl. this seems odd and a forum on kia sorento's shows the same concern. after buying new bulbs i find it takes a professional mechanic to install them...the dealer charges $18/bulb for labor only. this sounds like a scam by the manufacturer. this is for a sorento which your database does not allow for an option to choose from. for misfire problem i filed before this i selected sedona instead to get my claim through. 8jb | |||
