I purchased this Kia in 2014, since then, I have had to repeatedly replace the headlights, tail / brake lights and the license plate lights. The plastic part of the connectors have dried out and are breaking into pieces due to the wiring getting too hot, as the parts that are left are now starting to melt. I have owned several different cars and I have never had to replace the lights as much as in this car. Also, another issue is the driver side seat belt doesn't want to unlatch. I will be parked and it would sometimes take about 2 min for it to unlatch. Sometimes I would think it wasn't ever going to unlatch and I would be trapped.
The car started driving sluggish out of nowhere and I took it in to a mechanic who took it out for a test drive where it all of a sudden started smoking and the engine seized up while in motion. The car had its oil change and was well taken care of before this happened.
