I had bought a 2020 KIA Sportage from University KIA, in Madison, AL in March of 2020. Last February 2023, when washing the vehicle i had noticed that the paint or clear coat was starting to peel off of the side view mirrors. I took it back to the dealer for a warranty complaint, they took some pictures and had me get an estimate. They did fix this issue, now just a couple of days ago, February 2024, I noticed paint/clear coat peeling off of the rear spoiler, same type of issue as the mirrors. When I called the warranty department at University KIA they told me even though the car only has 32,000 miles on it has surpassed the 36 months warranty and that they do not think that KIA will repair it but to bring it in and they will take pictures to send it in and see what KIA corporate says.
I have owned a few KIA's over the years and never really had any issues mechanically, but cosmetically this should not be happening to a car that is not even four years old yet. If this keeps up this will probably be the last KIA I ever buy.
When you spend good money on a car you expect the paint to last more than 36 months.
Desired outcome: I would like KIA to have the rear spoiler painted at no cost to me, and to start putting more quality into their vehicles and maybe not so much into their advertising.
