Consumer Description
We purchased this car in Dec 2020, and since that time the rear brake light bulbs have been blowing on a regular basis. Now the headlights blew as well. We took it to the Kia dealer who informed us that the bulbs are shorting due to moisture leaking in to the rear sealed beams. There is no crack and no sign of impact. This issue has been found on two other cars that friends of mine have (VIN#'s shown below), and dealer says they are seeing these on a regular basis. This is an extremely dangerous problem, as most drivers don't know that their rear bulbs are not illuminating. This issue must be addressed ASAP. KNDMB5C11H6293784; KNDMB5C17G6180615
