Consumer Description

THE PAINT ON BOTH SIDES OF FRONT WINDOW SPONTANEOUSLY STARTED CHIPPING SYMMETRICALLY AND BILATERALLY. I JUST NOTICED IT ONE DAY WHEN IT WAS PARKED. IT WORSENS WITH EVERY DAY. SOME TINY AREAS ON THE FRONT HOOD ARE BEGINNING TO CHIP AS WELL. IT STARTS AS A TINY CHIP THEN CHUNKS START TO PEEL OFF. I'M EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED. THE KIA DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT MUST HAVE BEEN ROCKS THAT HIT THE CAR
