problem #2

Spectra

  • Automatic transmission
  • 40,000 miles

It first started peeling on the door handles. Now it's on the side mirrors, all handles, around the door frames, trunk. This is a fairly common problem in my year, make and model and KIA will not recall it.

problem #1

Spectra 5 2.6L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 47,000 miles

I bought this car off the showroom floor. have babied it and kept it clean. it is kept under a carport, because i don't want it exposed to the elements. but for some strange reason the spoiler started peeling the clear coat off, and just above the word kia on the hatchback is starting to do the same. my husband took it to the kia dealership to get it fixed and the service manager said it was 3 years, and then he said we went over the mileage. what does mileage have to do with the clear coat coming off?i do not want to continue making payments on a vehicle that looks like it's 10 years old, and is not quite 3 years old.
