The paint on my 2015 kia sorento (snow white pearl) is peeling off large sheets, exposing the metal underneath. This is a know issue affecting many kia and hyndai vehicles. I am concered it will lead to rust, safety issues, and reduce visibility. A piece laded on my windshield blocking my view. Kia has denied repair and has a case pending more research. Case number is 25399760. This is cleary a manfacturer defect happening to this color only. It is peeling on the hood and doors and back side. I am the original owner
My 2015 pearl white Kia Sorento has had paint peeling off of the hood and front of the roof. It is getting really bad and there is rust and corrosion now. It's been doing this for a couple of years and it's really bad now. There is now reason for that. When I drive around I keep an eye out and I see Sorento after Sorento with the same exact problem -- paint peeling in the same spots with rust and corrosion starting. Online you can find forums and a facebook page about it. It's an awful issue that starts out as a bad cosmetic issue and become an even worse body and safety issue due to the rust and corrosion. I will include photos from July 2023 to show how it was bad even back then. It's even worse now.
My Kia Sorento has the pearl white paint that began peeling 4 years ago. That is a known issue for Kia vehicles made between 2013 and 2019. [XXX] . While this is not necessarily a safety issue, it is common problem that Kia knows about. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Paint peeling and delaminating
Paint peel, only happening on shiny white pearl coat.
I have the snow white paint, and it is peeling in several areas. Hood, roof, and section that goes from fender to roof.
The paint is peeling off vehicle "kia sorento 2015 iall over my car, my car color is: pearl white. It is just peeling off all of the sudden. I understand this is happening all over the world to kia/hunday car owners, including the USA and canada. Even though kia has not issue a recall for this problem, they know is happening. I need kia to be responsable and paid for fixing this problem. I will not file a claim in my car insurance for this, because I did not create this problem, kia did.
