I have 28,000 miles on this car, 7 years old. When I purchased the car, I also paid extra $200.00 for paint sealer to help preserve the paint on the car. I took it to the Kia dealership where they confirmed it is a factory defect with the WHITE painted cars. They are proposing a possible 50/50 repaint. However, I already paid for the paint when I bought the car, should last 10-15 years even in Florida. The repaint they are proposing, (have not gotten confirmation that they will do anything yet) I see from other Kia owners that the paint comes right off again because they do not go to the bare metal and repaint and seal, they only do a repaint and a blending which doesn't fix the problem but it is the cheapest fix for them. Really hate that the world we live in is full of such legal con artists!
