This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The body of the car is undergoing paint delamination. This begun at 70k miles on the roof and now rust is beginning. Then the hood. Then one side around windshield. Then the other side around the windshield. There was not any incident that triggered the paint delamination.
The paint is peeling away on the hood, around windshield. Also the luggage racks paint is peeling off. The hood started as a simple little paint chip then exploded will paint bubbling up then peeling off. Around the windshield started with a crack in the paint them just explored in full paint peeling. I can no longer use a drivethru car wash. I must hand wash or the Jetta just peel more off. It-€™s so frustrating cause I strive to take exceptional care of my vehicle.
2015 KIA Sorento Paint peeling & chipping away from door pillars, roof where windshield meets, both let & right front fenders, hood. The color is "Snow While Pearl". Started to norice small chipping around 2017 & in April 2019 a large piece peeled off the passenger side front pillar which I had repaired. Many of the chips were touched up but it continues to occur to this day.
I own a 2015 Kia Sorento LX AWD and it's painted in the pearl white finish, over the last year the paint has been peeling off on the hood and the top edge closest to the windshield, and it's even started rusting in those spots now, which range in from the size of a match tip, to the size of my palm.
My 2015 Kia Sorento's pearl white paint is now coming off in large chunks. My insurance company did review the claim I filed, however, they noted that this situation has been reported numerous times with the same pearl white paint. They did not cover my claim because they have determined this is a defect in the paint since there are so many other similar complaints. The integrity of my vehicle is compromised once large chunks of paint are coming off on a daily basis under normal sunny skies. If I have to drive through any type of rain or heavy winds even more paint starts to come off. The paint is coming off down to the bare metal and now exposed areas are starting to rust.
I have a pearl white Kia Sorento and the paint is peeling and flaking badly in several areas. It is progressively getting worse and it makes the vehicle look terrible.
The White Pearl paint on our 2015 KIA Sorento has been chipping and delaminating. It's occurring all over the car's body but mainly on the hood, roof, and passenger side of the windshield. The damage started occurring in 2019.
The paint on the vehicle is peeling rapidly. It originally appeared to possibly be a chip but it is happening all over the vehicle and continues to spread. The vehicle is washed regularly and there is no reason the paint should be peeling like this.
While I was driving on the highway in the rain, I noticed small objects hitting my windshield. Once the vehicle was parked I noticed there were several points on the body of my car that the paint start peeling. No rocks or other objects were hit during the drive just faulty paint (Kia Sorento 2015 pearl white) on the body of the car. It has since become worse in these areas with rust starting to form in certain spots and continues to hit the windshield during driving.
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.
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.
The paint on my 2015 Kia Sorento coming off in numerous spots throughout the vehicle. The worst spot is just above the windshield on the passenger side. I'm afraid this will lead to the bare metal rusting, causing leakage around the windshield or even worse, weakening the integrity of the roof and the area surrounding the windshield. The vehicle is painted white metallic. I have noticed many other white Kia products having similar issues. I contacted me dealership and was told they are aware of the problems but it's not a recall. We purchased the extended bumper to bumper warrantee but we were told by the dealership that paint isn't included. I first noticed the issue in the first few years of ownership but the issues have continued to get bigger and have occurred in other places on the vehicle.
