This is my second new kia, I always take super good care of my cars.i noticed paint peeling off the hood of my 2008 optima I could not believe this was happening to a car only 6 yrs old.contacted kia consumer complaints they said take to the dealer collision dept.i did got a estimate.and reason to believe what caused it was due to when they ship new cars chip the paint so they do a quick repair to sell.out of warranty for paint currently have 62000 miles,they contacted now saying they will not honor to fix,now what is it to paint a hood and make a customer happy when they were planning to buy a third kia and I have refered friends to buy a kia unreal I am so pissed off with them.they not heard the last from me.i plan to contact news channel for customers.and plenty of signs to make up and picket.

I have a 2012 Kia Soul and the paint is peeling off all over the back of the car. Kia is refusing to help. Not pleased.

I got my 2013 fixed by them. It took about 2 months.

I had to get 2 estimates and take pictures. Then upload to kia support

My 2011 Kia Sorento paint is peeling off an separating from the primer in large chunks right above the windshield. Kia consumer affairs was an absolute waste of time claiming it is out of warranty.

Warranty is not the problem.

Application of the paint is the problem. I have seen several others with the same complaints and the dealer where I have mine serviced stated they have seen five in the last three months all the same color(snow white pearl) and model.

I am having the same issues with my 2011 Kia Sorento pearl white. right above the windshield. A body shop told me to check with the company as this seemed like a factory issue.

Our second Kia perhaps our last purchase of a Kia is 2015 has yellow exposed on bottom corner panels on both sides my husband is making a second attempt to visit dealership as they had taken pics and never got back to us. Perhaps telling them your going to put pictures on social media will get them moving.

The paint is peeling on the hood of my 2011 Kia Sorento. Afriend told me to contact Kia, but i am lost as to where to start.
