My check engine light started blinking and the car was stalling out. I have now parked the car in my driveway. I bought the car October, 2024.
Clear coat paint is peeling. On top of hatchback. I don't know when it started, I just noticed it today 9-29-25. It is available for inspection upon request. No warning message prior to the problem. I went to dealer and they said the paint warranty expired in 1922 and there are no recalls and not extended warranties for this and kia has no responsibility that's why they only give a 3 year, 36,000 mile warranty on paint.
My oil consumption is approximately 1. 5 quarts every 200 miles. I get my oil changed every month and every other week I need to top off. When my oil, is low there is no indication on the dash. I have to preform inspections on my car on a daily basis. Now, my car will randomly not start. I replaced the battery and changed the spark plugs.

I have a 2019 kia Sportage with 41k miles on it and the paint is peeling. As of now, the roof spoiler is completely peeled off. The side view mirrors, and the door handles, have paint peeling and bubbling. I have reported it to kia and they are unwilling to stand by their product and extend the warranty on the paint. Kia is fully aware of the problem but is not willing to fix it.
1) vehicle is burning oil and engine is overheating quite fast. 2)vehicle has stalled or shut off on its own during use 3) kia dealership refused to address the specific issue due to car being out of warranty because of the mileage. They also wanted to run different tests not directly associated with the issue; wants to do trial and error which is only creating a humongous bill for the customer. 4) insurance was contacted and currently awaiting instruction at the present time this form is completed on September 14, 2024 11:35 am mst 5)no warning lamps or messages appeared. Only found out about initial issue when vehicle was taken in for yearly inspection in accordance to state laws for tag renewal at a local pep boys. The mechanic informed me that my vehicle had an engine recall, the vehicle is burning oil drastically, and that the vehicle will need a new engine. After this and kia refusing to do anything, all my vehicle issues became worse(April 2024-present). I must put oil every 1k miles now presently. I revisited oil changers multiple times for a top off before it was even time for an oil change. The mechanic also made it so my oil would burn slower but it did not work.
On the computer radio area the screen is showing green and red saying to insert usb drive . Press power key or acc off and on. Total update mode. Caution! keep the power and don't remove usb. Kia dealership told me I should receive a usb drive in the mail from kia corporate to do the update at home at no charge. Kia corporate told me my vehicle is not a part of the current update. Then the kia dealership in saltillo, ms advised me to but my own usb drive and download the update on my own to do it. The whole situation seems unsafe. I feel someone needs to be advised of this situation. The case # is notated on the screenshot of the email from kia corporate.
