The headlights are so dim that it is extremely dangerous to drive at night. I went and bought the $50 bulbs and it still looked like I didn-??t turn my lights on. It looks like I drive with candlelight. Also the bulbs burn out about 3-4 months.

My Kia Sorento was purchased from Kia in 2018 - 1st - I had to take the car back to check the rear breaks due to a shaking of the car that happens when going over 50mph. The driver side head light goes out every couple months. Recently the battery light came one, after the battery was swapped (the car still wouldn't power on)- they ran a few tests and discovered an electrical issue. I have tan my VIN for the recall but my car doesn't seem to be eligible for any recalls that mention an electrical issue with the Kia

On a number of occasions, both headlights on my 2014 Kia Sorento have gone out at the same time. Usually if I open the headlight housing and twist the light plug this will cause the light to work. But other times one of the two lights will be burnt out. The issue is both lights go out at the same time. I have brought it to the attention of my local dealership but they could find nothing wrong.

My headlights keep blowing out. I have been changing them every 2-4 months for the past year. They suggested I check for recalls and nothing. This could be very dangerous and buying headlights every 2-4 months gets expensive

Keep having to replace headlight bulbs and now headlights don't work at all ! had to drive home at night with only parking lights in fl keys, very terrifying and not safe at all. Prior to the lights not working I would have to replace a bulb at least every 3 months, got pulled over once by the police because a headlight was out and I didn't know it was out. I had just replaced it!

Low beam headlights, and tail lights, burning out frequently, and at the same time! this happens at least once per year, and both headlights go out at the same time, leaving my family and I driving in the dark. This seems to happen when you start the vehicle. It's been an ongoing issue for 3+ years. It's very scary and a significant safety issue, rendering the vehicle useless until repaired. I see online that there are thousands of others who have this same issue. Kia customer service will not acknowledge that this is a known issue (even though the local dealership did) and both Kia and the dealership agree that this problem is not covered under warranty because there has not been a recall. This is a life or death situation and Kia needs to take ownership of it before someone gets hurt. Cars need functioning headlights and break lights.

Nighttime driving with this vehicle is horrible. While a well-lit interstate may not necessarily be an issue, dark roadways (rural, dark interstates, some urban streets) are. The headlights will blow randomly blow within as few as some days after replacement to a month after replacement. The headlight assembly uses projector lenses. However, the light does not project. I have tried adjusting the headlights and the headlights respond by projecting a scattered beam that barely illuminates the roadway. Cheap walmart flood lights do a better job than these projector lenses. I tried using leds to get more light. While the mission was technically accomplished, the beam pattern is still scattered. I detail cars and the plastic cover is not the issue. My state law tells me that my headlights should illuminate a pedestrian 400 feet away during nighttime hours. These lights do not do this. My function as a police officer is that of a traffic crash investigator (with extensive NHTSA training spanning from sfst through advanced traffic crash) as well and these headlights will contribute to animal/pedestrian strikes as they do not project the light where it is needed. There are a number of Kia forums talking about the same thing across many different models. This needs to be a recall that replaces the ground wire and the headlight assembly to project the light where it needs to be. These lights are dangerous. There are a number of electrical issues with these vehicles (such as the brake lights going out completely for no random reason or the brake lights remaining illuminated without application of the brake) but this one takes the cake. This has been an ongoing issue with this vehicle since we purchased it in 2016. This vehicle has a poor iihs rating for small overlap crashes. The lights don't illuminate the roadway well enough when passing another car on a two-lane highway.

Low beam headlights are dangerously dim. I have tried multiple different bulbs (led and halogen), with no change. They are dim enough that there is a shadow of my car in front of me when there is another car behind me at night.

I have noticed that while driving at night, my headlights are extremely, dangerously dim. I have changed the bulbs, and I can still barely see in front of me without clicking on the high beams. What can be done about this issue? I am so terrified to drive at night, I only go five minutes away from my house if necessary. I'm also afraid I will get a traffic citation for driving with high beams on, but sometimes in my area with poor lighting, I have no other choice. I'm driving at night but depending on the car behind me to give me more light, which isn't good. If there's no traffic behind me, I'm definitely forced to put on the high beams.

Low beam headlight bulbs burn out and need to be replace every 3 to 4 months. This issues has occurred while driving on highways like interstate 81 or highway 322 and 11/15 in Pennsylvania. They have always burnt out with being stationary in parking lots at all times and season of the year. When one side burns out it can be a month to 4 months before the other side burns out. I purchased the vehicle in early 2019 and since that time I have replace almost 10 or more bulbs since owning the vehicle.

My stability light comes on while driving and my brake lights do not function, have been looking on internet and there seems to be a lot of problems of the exact same nature. You will be rear ended if you have no brake lights. My vehicle has 33000 miles on it. I think Kia needs to recall the Sorentos for this issue

All the lights go out sporadically while driving. The danger is when it does it at night. While driving down a dark road, my lights went out completely on numerous occasions. It happens in the day time as well, as I can see the lights blink off and on from the reflection on vehicle in front of me. They come back on and may go off 2 or 3 times while driving maybe 5 to 10 minutes. On the day I took it to the dealer, it was happening on my way there, but the Kia dealer said they couldn't find a problem.
