The paint is coming off of the vehicle. The paint peels off is not bonding to the metal at all. . Comes off in sheets . Resulting in bare metal that can rust and cause vehicle to deterioate.

I have a 2015 kia Sorento white pearl finish. Paint started chipping on it last year and just noticed a few weeks ago after washing it that chunks of paint started coming off above the windshield and on the hood. I had just fixed chipping above the windshield a week prior.

I noticed my 2015 kia Sorento with white pearl paint is chipping and coming off in several places. I have fixed a few with yhe kia white pearl touch up paint. I noticed today three more areas that are chipping. Two above the windshield and one large chipping area on the hood. The chip on the hood looks like it is bubbling up. This is not rock damage.

Paint on our 2014 white Sorento peeled off both a pillars and the roof and we had to get the top half of the car repainted. Paint peeled all the way down to the bare metal picture I provided only got worse from there and peeled all the way up.

Paint bubbled up twice after rainy days then would go down and look normal like if nothing had happened after the rain. A few weeks later the front middle section on my hood started peeling, didn't think much of it since it wasn't too big. A couple weeks later the side of my windshield started peeling the same way (where it would bubble up after the rain) it started peeling off while I was driving. At first I thought it was a paper since it sounded similar to when a flyer is left on windshield while driving, after getting to my destination I noticed that the paint had started peeling off on the driver side, next to the windshield. I stopped by kia dealership to be told that this has been happening to kia's with the same paint color and that they just had a 2020 car that was getting rust dots, the guy at the dealership looked at my car and said I had rust dots in my trunk door, right next to the sides of the kia sign. I looked closely and he was correct, now I'm afraid it will start peeling there as well. While there they checked my warranty and was told that that my paint warranty was over.

My paint began to peal around the frame of the windshield. When I inquired at kia, they claimed that because it was a pre-owned car and I had past my warranty of mileage (because it was a pre-owned car) there is nothing they can do for me. I inquired at a local paint shop and was informed that the seal failed over the paint, causing a DE-lamination issue. Clear evidence shows that my car has never been re-painted and this is in fact a manufacturer malfunction. However, kia still refuses to assist or take ownership of this defect. Meanwhile, my car continues to peel at a rapid pace. Even when I take to get my car serviced, mechanics are unable to perform routine maintenance due to the paint chipping off in their tape and other supplies.

Starting a year ago, the paint on my 2015 vehicle (less than 60k miles) began to flake off. I have the kia pearl white color and my story is consistent with the hundreds of other cases online. The paint flakes off with pressure from a garden hose. I keep my car clean and detailed (twice a year). There are no dents or marks at any of the locations validating that this isn't damage from a rock or road debri. I have taken my car to several paint and body shops and they all recommend the paint be removed completely as my only option of repair because the orginal paint is not bonded properly to the body. Kia refuses to admit that this is a defect.

Around February 5th the paint on my pearle white 2014 kia Sorento started peeling. As time went on the paint continued to flake off of my car on both pillars and the hood of my vehicle all the way down to the base of the car.

The paint continues to come off in the rain, wind, and even a simple car wash.

I had an estimate done at a kia dealer that came back $2500. 00 +.

I have owned this car for one year. The lamination and paint are bubbling up for no reason. I take good care of this car and it is not old enough that the paint should be failing.

I found numerous accounts of this happening to other kia owners for no reason, and found out that there are class action lawsuits for kia paint defects.

I want to make a formal complaint regarding this model. I have seen others with the same issue in this area.
