| The day after we purchased this vehicle i had to change the right break light, sinse then i've had to change the headlights both at least twice, assorted tail lights each side at least three times, the front dome light will not come on when you open the doors but can be swiched on, now dash lights are going off one at a time some can be wiggled and come on for a few seconds. this has gone from annoying to a safety issue, and i read a lot of people on line with 06 sorentos have the same problem and have been told by the deeler that it will cost them a lot of money to fix.i feel like all the others this should be kia's responibility to fix. | |||
