paint bubbling and flake off paint bubbling and flake off paint bubbling and flake off paint bubbling and flake off paint bubbling and flake off

Bought this car in 2021 and love it! The paint peeling and bubbling is starting to rust. Contacted Kia they just said not under warranty. How about honoring your products! My car looks terrible and I’m embarrassed driving it around. I still pay a monthly payment on a car that looks like crap at no fault of mine. The paint is peeling on hood, around windshield and the top by the roof racks so far. Kia needs to honor this and repaint every car with this issue I know thousands have this. The whole car needs to be painted if the paint is defective. And to Make sure pearl is done correct to match.

Sorento LX 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 40,000 miles

Was told that due to the mileage it could not be painted. I will never purchase another Kia. I was always a Ford person.

Even in accidents the paint does not flake off of a Ford. I really made a bad choice in choosing a Kia. Will never recommend this to anyone.
