Description of the problem	January 2013 i noticed what looked like paint peeling off of the driver side mirror but realized that it was a clear coat over the paint. I went to a local kia dealer and a mechanic looked at it and said that they were not responsible for this defect. The car was purchased in may of 2010 with less than 50 miles on it. Since that day there are several other places where this is happening. I have owned many cars and never had this happen to a vehicle. I believe that kia should be responsible it is a very poor job done by the manufacturer. The car is too new for this to happen and there are no extreme circumstances.
