What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 kia sorento. While the contact's son was driving, the vehicle started to make a knocking noise. The contact's son noticed smoke coming from the rear of the vehicle and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. On several occasions, the headlights and tail lights failed without warning. The contact stated that he previously replaced the lights several times, but the failure recurred.
My headlights continue to blow out every 2 months, no matter what kind of bulb I replace them with. Both headlights will go out, brake lights are also blowing out every 1.5 month. I brought it to my dealer: kia of ventura,ca attention but they keep dismissing it as nothing is wrong. I have been pulled over twice so far this year for both break stop & headlights blowing out and not working during night time road travels across states. I feel this is. Very dangerous.
