| Description of the problem | I have a pearl white 2014 kia sorrento purchased in april of 2017 with around 70,000 miles on it it had not a scratch or dent. Around 9/2017 at around 80,000 miles, i started noticing small chips of paint missing. It was peeling and delaminating from the body of the car after the warranty expired. They have evolved into very large spots of chipped paint and rusting on top of the windshield, on the side of the windshield and on the hood. I have also noticed thinning paint on the drivers side door. |
