Snow White Pearl Owners READ - paint peeling off

Good day, found the post below on Facebook. Take action and file a NHTSA complaint at the link below and join the Facebook Group "KIA SORENTO SNOW WHITE PAINT PEELING CHIPPING AND DELAMINATION"


Hi there KIA friends !

I’m the maker of this page and I own a 2014 Kia Sorento that the peeling is rapidly peeling off ( or what the body shops call Delamination ) . My paint began peeling in a tiny spot I thought was a chip from a rock but rapidly began peeling all over .

Here are some steps to follow to help getting your paint fixed and paid for by KIA . We all need to file a Paint complaint with Report a Vehicle Safety Problem, Equipment Issue | NHTSA

This is extremely IMPORTANT, You will need your VIN # ** PLEASE INCLUDE THE COLOR OF YOUR KIA** The paint peeling is seriously dominate in PEARL WHITE and that needs to be addressed!! We have seen peeling in other colors as well. 🏛We want this to lead to a investigation, here is what the NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFTEY ADMINISTRATION says**👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

* Any documentation you have related to your complaint, such as photos or a police report:

* ALL complaints are reviewed.

* Some complaints may lead to an investigation.

* Some investigations lead to recalls.

* Unverifiable complaints may be removed from searchable information.

Note: The review and investigation process MAY take a long time, but don't worry--you will be notified if there is a recall.

—————————————-
We need to include pictures📸, and dates and mileage of when this started and the progression on peeling .

This is really important!! We need to work together and get the NHTSA to recognize there is a nationwide problem . Once they have a certain number of complaints they begin to look deeper in to the problem and may force KIA to act — and recall the cars that need paint !! Let’s do it!

Next , DOCUMENTATION . Take pictures of the paint with dates and mileage — keep track of new spots that are peeling . Document any times you many have taken your KIA in for maintenance and documented your paint complaint. For example, we’re you told by your KIA dealership that your 36 month paint warranty was over ?? If so, request the maintenance record for that day. They should of noted in your paperwork that detail . If they did not but you remember asking, keep a note of that visit and list it in your documentation. Another example, have you ever gone to a private body shop to get a quote to fix peeling ? If so, get that paperwork. Of course if you have already paid for paint and have records and receipts document those into your file .

Next,

Be prepared with your documentation , have it scanned on to your computer and ready to send as attachments to KIA. ( Upload all your photos and documents )

Then, contact KIA CORPORATE AMERICA

✨1-949-468-4800 or customer service 1-800-333-4542

Tell them of your rapid Delamination and paint peeling . Include the Color of your and all the locations your paint is peeling or bubbling. I believe the ENTIRE kia needs to repainted and fixing one spot is not the solution!! This includes the top of the car and racks on top if your car has them. Mine are silver and peeling .

You will be assigned a case manage and case number. Your case manage will then direct you to your dealership or body shop for a quote.

Please keep the page updated on your progress .

Thank you !!
