problem #2

Sorento 4WD 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission

The original battery failed at 2 1/2 years and the replacement battery (Kia battery) failed after only 1 1/2 years. I have replaced the headlights (4 times), fog lights (2 times), tail lights (2 times), and license plate light. Electrical system check showed no problems that could be causing all of these failures.
