Paint problems of the 2014 Kia Motor Sorento - part 2

Paint coming off a brand new car. I am original owner at only 39,000 miles paint started coming off my car. I always purchased new vehicles never had this problem. I was told the paint is only covered to 36,000 miles. Not like the song they sing when selling you the car.

I have paint peeling off of my car, I took it to kia & was I formed my car was out of warranty so they are not reliable.

Takata recall I purchased my kia index 2014. Immediately the paint started bubbling and then peeling around the windshield and hood. We called kia and they said this is not covered. Also we get recalls about the engine. I never had a problem until I took it in. The first recall I got they drained the oil and took oil pan off my car. The second one not sure what they did to it but it was about. The engine. Now I have to put oil in my vehicle about once a week. The door locks don't work the keyless entry will let you in but you have to lock all your doors by walking around the vehicle. The headlights keeps,blowing. I have probably put 10 headlights in my car over the past year. Now my abs traction control and low light for tires is on and will not go offf it amazes me that there are no open recall on thus vehicle I am sure it will not last me until I pay it off. This is the worst vehicle I have ever owned.

On my 2014 kia Sorento , the paint has peeled, is peeling so bad, that it is embarassing to even drive the vehicle. This started about 4 years ago . At that time, it started on the hood, over the drivers side. Took it to the kia place, and they tried to say it was because the vanity light mirror had been left on over night. The next visit was when it was peeling all over the car. They of course said, it was out of warranty. My car has about 75,000 miles on it.

Three years ago when our kia was at about 60,000 miles the paint which is pearl white, around the windshield starting peeling off and since then has peeled off in multiple areas exposing the bare metal leading to rust. The forming around the windshield is causing the windshield to weaken. I have seen many other kias with the same issue of paint peeling around the windshield and am afraid that the paint used for pearl white kias was defective.

The paint on this vehicle has been a problem from day 1 practically, and kia refuses to acknowledge this. We take great care in our cars as we keep them for the life of them, and thus keep it mostly garaged when not in use, and especially during any potentially adverse weather. From day 1, any hard bug, tiny pebble, etc would case the paint on the bumper to chip off and subsequently crack and flake. Problems seemed to happen even if we hadnt driven it. As the white one we own has a black plastic underbody, it constantly looks like our car is buggy/dirty and has acne. Upon taking to the dealer, around month 4, they gave me a paint pen to handle it, saying it wasnt ebough of a problem. As it was only on the plastic bumper, I chalked it up to "just there. " now, at 4 years and 3 months of ownership, after 1 long car trip in the rain (about 13 hours of driving) the paint on the top metal roof is peeling like tiger stripes and its beginning to along the edges where the doors meet the body and the hood. Kia, even after their dealer reccommended local paint repair shop, state farms inspectors, and the local dealers service department have all inspected it, are continuing to deny the paint defect, after all those entities have confirmed it is a manufactures defect. Now, it looks like we will be on the hook for over $5000+ to repair the paint because we are now outside of their warrany period. Its awful of kia to advertise a 10year/100k warranty while not matching the industry average 10year/100k mile paint warranty. This is not my families first kia, but this experience is making us rethink our loyalty, and it may be our last kia.

I have a 2014 kia pearl white that has major paint peeling on drivers/passenger door panels & hood. This issue continues to get worse. I had this car four yrs & it started after the first yr. Continues to get worse.

My kia Sorento has delamination. The car paint started to peel away 2 1/2 years after purchase. I started to complain to the dealership after the warranty expired since it started to get real bad but received no assistance. At one point they took pictures but that was it. I now have almost 192,000 miles and they tell me my warranty has expired. I told them that I did contact them many times previously and the have a file on it but the dealer tells me to contact the manufacturer.
