2015 Kia Sorento Structure

Paint is peeling off the frame on passenger side and on the window frame on top

My Kia is pearl white and the paint is peeling off. I've taken it to a body shop and they said it is a factory prep issue and the paint will continue to peel. And it won't be long before the windshield starts leaking. Upon doing research, I've seen many complaints about the problem I am having. I don't think the mileage should matter.....defective paint job is a big issue. What is Kia doing to resolve this? I'm not paying over $4,000 to fix it when it's not a fault of mine.

The contact owns a 2015 Kia Sorento. The contact stated that paint was peeling off from the vehicle roof frame, causing it to rust. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the paint was defective and it was a known failure. The dealer referred the contact to the manufacturer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000.

The paint (white pearl) is bubbling and peeling. I currently have several rust spots that appeared where the paint peeled. I have researched this issue online and found that it is a common occurrence with this particular paint color on Kia cars for this time frame. Also, the Kia dealership that I have been to is aware that this is a problem as well. I recently had the unfortunate experience of my engine seizing up and this was replaced by the manufacturer and I feel this this paint problem is a manufacturer defect as well and should be repaired by the manufacturer.

2015 Kia Sorento with Snow White Paint has large areas of paint rapidly pealing off. In various spots the paint is pealing off in large chunks and has had no prior damage to the area. After going to multiple body shops I was informed that this is a common problem with this color and model year of this car. It is due to a defect in the painting process.

Delamination of SWP paint. Paint all over the front of the vehicle is peeling off.

The Kia has been having paint that just comes off around the windshield at the top and now on the hood. I’ve seen several other Kia’s (white) having the same issues. Why won’t Kia stand behind this issues? I know this is not owners fault. Something is wrong with the paint on these white 2015 sorentos.

I have the white paint and abt 2 months ago it started chopping off in large chunks.

Snow white pearl paint has peeled after a rain storm. No evidence of issues before hand. Several other complaints on this paint color doing the exact same thing. Paint should not peel off after rain.

Large amounts of paint falling off of vehicle.

Paint chipping on hood and on roof above windshield in huge flakes. Down to primer and possibly starting to rust.

The body of the car is undergoing paint delamination. This begun at 70k miles on the roof and now rust is beginning. Then the hood. Then one side around windshield. Then the other side around the windshield. There was not any incident that triggered the paint delamination.

The paint is peeling away on the hood, around windshield. Also the luggage racks paint is peeling off. The hood started as a simple little paint chip then exploded will paint bubbling up then peeling off. Around the windshield started with a crack in the paint them just explored in full paint peeling. I can no longer use a drivethru car wash . I must hand wash or the Jetta just peel more off. It’s so frustrating cause I strive to take exceptional care of my vehicle.

I woke up this morning to discover that a foot long chunk of my Kia Sorento SX-L's pearl white paint had de-laminated and peeled off the driver's side front door pillar. I've come to find out this is a common due to a paint defect. I'm reporting this per instructions from other Kia owners with the issue.

Paint peeling off of the hood

PAINT DELAMINATING, NOT DUE TO ROCK CHIP OR WEATHER. IS VERY COMMON IN THIS SPECIFIC PAINT COLOR ON THIS SPECIFIC MODEL (PEARL WHITE, KIA SORENTO)

2015 KIA Sorento Paint peeling & chipping away from door pillars, roof where windshield meets, both let & right front fenders, hood. The color is "Snow While Pearl". Started to norice small chipping around 2017 & in April 2019 a large piece peeled off the passenger side front pillar which I had repaired. Many of the chips were touched up but it continues to occur to this day.

PAINT IS PEELING OFF WITH NO KNOWN CAUSE, PROGRESSIVELY WORSENING WITH TIME.

My white paint is chipping horribly!!!

The White Pearl paint on our 2015 KIA Sorento has been chipping and delaminating. It's occurring all over the car's body but mainly on the hood, roof, and passenger side of the windshield. The damage started occurring in 2019.

There is no incident or cause. The paint from the hood and top is coming off in big flakes.

My 2015 Kia Sorento's pearl white paint is now coming off in large chunks. My insurance company did review the claim I filed, however, they noted that this situation has been reported numerous times with the same pearl white paint. They did not cover my claim because they have determined this is a defect in the paint since there are so many other similar complaints. The integrity of my vehicle is compromised once large chunks of paint are coming off on a daily basis under normal sunny skies. If I have to drive through any type of rain or heavy winds even more paint starts to come off. The paint is coming off down to the bare metal and now exposed areas are starting to rust.

Always noticed little chips on my hood then at about 65000 miles my paint just started peeling right off. So bad that I can’t wash my car or the paint will keep peeling. My auto insurance called it delamanation and said it wasn’t painted properly therefore they won’t cover it. Kia will not acknowledge to me that there is a problem, said my warranty on paint has expired. My color is pearl white and I see other white Kias all over doing the same thing. Also Hyundai’s. If you look online you will see LOTS of stories and complaints regarding this problem. Kia should be held accountable and recall this!
