My pearl white paint is peeling in sheets on the rear quarter panel on the drivers side and is coming off all along each side of the windshield and in spots all along the car.
Motor mounts are broke. I need to replace 3 of them. This isn't normal at all. The car has never been wrecked. The paint keeps peeling off. I repainted 1 x on an area, kia is aware. I took to them and they said kia wasn't responsible (but , I disagree). I paid over 30,000 for this kia. . , body shop couldn't guarantee due to the paint job kia did on my automobile. Now the paint is peeling on other spots.
My husband and I noticed that paint was coming off the roof of my kia Sorento 2011 model after the car wash. This was around mid 2017. On Nov 7, 2017, I took my car to a body shop to inquire about fixing the paint damage. They informed me that they have seen many kias Sorentos come in with the pearl white color have delamination. They informed me to check with a kia bodyshop to see if they would cover this. They said that it is a factory issue. So I went to the kia body shop and talked with the manager and after a few days he got back to me and told me that kia would cover half the cost to fix it. Well I never got it done because if it is a factory issue and I believe that kia should cover all of it. I couldn't afford to pay what kia wanted to charge for the paint job and make my car payment at that time. So I waited and now the roof and hood paint are continuing to come off and even worse rust. I can't afford to replace my car at this moment. I would like to continue driving my car, but not only is it embarrassing, I worry about the rust effecting areas at the top of my windshield. I see many white kia Sorentos with this issue in my area and think why hasn't this been recalled and covered by kia nationally. I feel kia needs to take responsibility and fix this issue for the us consumers who have spent their hard earned money on their product. I don't feel that I as a consumer am being treated fairly by this company. I feel the product and quality is subpar and that corners were cut to create a better bottom line for the corporation. Kia needs to do better. You need to do a national recall on all white kia Sorentos with this paint delamination issue and repaint the whole vehicle correctly.
