KIA Motors – Case# [protected] pearl white paint peeling

Dealer stated to contact Kia. We called Kia and they said they would pay for repairs and to take pics of before and after and send in with invoice for reimbursement. I felt unsure that they would pay me back so I decided to get a couple of estimates. I was told by each repair facility that they could not just sand and prep the areas that are peeling because to have it blend, they would need to strip down to the bare panels. It requires 2 paint coatings because of the pearl. Repairs would be between $5000-$8000k. They also confirmed that, by the way the paint is bubbled, this is absolutely manufacturer issue. We spoke with Kia Customer Care and they are unwilling to pay for repairs.
