Both rear interior door panels and liftgate are rusting out on vehicle that is 1.5 years old (and garage kept). Kia states they have a "5-year/50k mile bumper-to-bumper warranty" for poor craftsmanship & faulty materials. Apparently, a brand new vehicle rusting out doesn't meet kia's definition as covered under warranty and will not fix it. Kia's warranty is overstated. No vehicle (even one's built into 1950's rust out with in a year. Poor materials....lousy warranty.

Rust spots appear on the rear liftgate within the warranty period for paint. Both auto manufacturer and dealership did not follow up. Then the warranty coverage is over and the problem is getting worst.
