Sorento LX 3.0L

Every time you look around the front & rear bulbs have to be replaced. I have replaced the back lights due to the wires burning out. I have purchased the front headlamp assembly because both lights went out at the same time.

Also I have to manually lock my doors and the horn no longer works.

Sorento LX 2400

  • Automatic transmission
  • 62,922 miles

Left low beam went out...bought a set at Auto Zone....next day....Right low beam went out...replace that one also...next day....the right upper driving lights (led type made into the headlight bucket) went out. Checked fuses and connections then checked with the dealership...they checked it...said these led light units are not repairable...you have to buy/replace the bucket....$1,000 for the headlight bucket.....REALLY????? I BOUGHT this car new....cash....and with 62922 miles...this happens....and they say this is not a warranty item. I always have my car serviced at the same dealership....and just had the tune up service, and injection system clean-up service at my last oil change/rotation service which I did again on 12-29-16. I have read on the internet about electrical problems with the 2014 Sorento as far as the headlights repeatedly going out...I hope this is not the start of an electrical nightmare. I DID NOT have them replace the driving lights (the strip of led lamps made into the headlight bucket) replaced......I told him with reports of lights burning out on Sorento's the left side will probably go out too. Surely not paying $2,000 to have these ornamental lights.
