Description of the problem | My headlights continue to blow out every 2 months, no matter what kind of bulb i replace them with. Both headlights will go out, brake lights are also blowing out every 1. 5 month. I brought it to my dealer: kia of ventura,ca attention but they keep dismissing it as nothing is wrong. I have been pulled over twice so far this year for both break stop & headlights blowing out and not working during night time road travels across states. I feel this is. Very dangerous. Apparently, this isn't an isolated incident as i have come to know of 50+ kia sorento owners facing similar electrical safety issues. Also, ever i bought the car the mile per gallon the car is supposedly to give isn't correct, it only averages about 12-14 mpg. Please look into both of these safety issues as i drive with two under 5yrs kids and elderly mother. What is the nhtsa waiting for? Multiple death fatalities before your organization takes action.. Do it now please. Any resulting fatalities will make you legally liable for failing to take action after soo many complaints. |
