We bought the Zurich shield for this car for 4 years it appears that that could have caused the issue, but not sure. I have and older Hyundai that does not have the paint/clear coat just pealing off of it.

I think this Zurich shield was a scam.

problem #1

Feb 262018

Optima LX 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 70,000 miles

The car is less than 3 years old and Kia is saying it's not their problem because the car has 70,000 miles. This is total B/S. I've had Ford and Chevy cars for 6 to 8 years and never had a problem with paint peeling off the bumper. Kia doesn't seem to car as well as the dealership in Cape Coral, Florida.

I work with plastics ever day and know for a fact the paint is breaking down because of poor workmanship and poor quality control. I'm not done with Kia and their tough S--- attitude. My next e-mail is to the state of Florida consumer protection agency. I won't quite till this is fixed at Kias expense.
