Consumer Description

ISSUE WITH HEADLIGHTS AND WIRING ECT. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR OWNERS WITH THESE VEHICLES FOR YEARS. NOT ONLY IS IT EXPENSIVE FOR THE OWNERS BUT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHEN IT IS DOCUMENTED. LOOK AT ALL THE COMPLAINTS WHY KIA HAS NOT BEEN MADE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. INSTEAD OF LETTING THEM CONTINUE MANUFACTURING VEHICLES WITH THE SAME HEADLIGHTS. MY LOW BEAM PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO. I PURCHASED A NEW BULB BUT WHEN MY HUSBAND INSERTED THE NEW BULB IT WOULDN'T WORK. MY HUSBAND DOES ELECTRICAL WORK AND SAID THIS HAS TO BE A SHORT OR SOMETHING IN THE WIRING. WHY DOES THE OWNERS HAVE TO CONTINUE DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE AND SUBJECTED TO THE POSSIBILITY OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO NO WORKING LIGHTS OR POSSIBLE FATALITIES. IF WE HAVE SERIOUS INJURIES OR FATALITIES THEN WILL YOU RECOGNIZE HUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM. LOOK AT THE COMPLAINTS. THESE GO BACK FOR YEARS. AND STILL OCCURRING ON NEWER VEHICLES. OWNERS ARE BEING FORCED TO PAY OUT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FREQUENTLY FOR REPAIRS THAT DO NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM IT IS ONLY A BAND AIDE UNTIL THE NEXT TIME
