We purchased a molten 2011 kia Soul. 3 months after owning the car we noticed multiple paint chips all over the car and windshield chips. I have less than 4500 miles and I do not drive on gravel or follow salt trucks. I am currently trying to get the kia dealership to repair it. Also, a speaker rumbles, it did not start one time (only had it for a few days), and sometimes you can smell antifreeze. The dealership is still deciding if they will help me in regards to the paint and windshield. They have ordered a replacement speaker. They said that the starting system is fine and the antifreeze smell is "the engine breaking in". I have read multiple complaints about pain andwindshield chips. Please help us!.

I purchased a 2010 kia Soul ! on 12/31/2009 and within 2 months I noticed 10 -12 paint chips on the front and hood of the car. I drive in a city that only see some snow and some salted. Salted roads should of not caused this much paint chipping. I added a paint protection film to the front of the car at a cost of $587 to protect my investment. Later I learned that this is a problem with this model. Contacted kia consumer affairs about the issue to and asked to register the compliant, they stated they have never heard of the issue. I asked them to help over the cost of the protection system, they stated they would only do that if the dealer installed it, which my was not. I would like to see that the paint issue is corrected and conpensated for the cost I spent on the protection film.
