NHTSA Complaint #11398106 — 2014 KIA SORENTO

PAINT CHIPPING AWAY AND RUST UNDERNEATH. APPEARS LIKE NO PRIMER WAS USED. THIS OCCURRING STILL ABOVE WINDSHIELD AND ACROSS LEFT TO RIGHT OF TOP CABIN, AT LEAST 8' UP. STARTED AS 1-2 SMALL SPOTS. KIA SERVICE BLAMED IT ON BEING HIT BY SOMETHING AND WOULDN'T GO FURTHER IN 12/2019. I TOLD THEM IT WAS FROM WIND SHEAR FROM DRIVING. AT THE TIME CAR HAS JUST OVER 30K, OUT OF PAINT WARRANTY.. NOW IT'S 20 TIMES WORSE. AUTO COLLISION SHOPS AGREED IT'S A PAINT DEFECT. I WENT TO CORPORATE COMPLAINT AND WAS SHOT DOWN SAYING IT'S UP TO LOCAL KIA JUDGMENT. NOT GOOD ENOUGH, HOPE NO ONE ELSE HAS THIS ISSUE WITH PAINT ON THEIR KIA SORRENTO SUV.
