Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2004 KIA SORRENTO WITH 57,000 MILES. I HAVE OWNED IT FOR 2 YEARS. THE HEADLIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS CONTINUOUSLY GO OUT. I HAVE REPLACED EACH HEADLIGHT 4 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED 5 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS I NEVER KNOW WHEN MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE OUT UNLESS SOMEONE STOPS AND TELLS ME. *TR
