Out of no where paint started chipping then peeling off on driver side upper panel above window. Then it started to peel off on front end driver side. The car has rust spots and chips. Looks like the roof will be next. The paint in continuing to peel. It's extremely thin paint and seems very dry. The car also molds easily in the trunk area.

Vehicle has large chunks of paint that fall off and may cause a driving hazard for others. There are many reports of paint falling off pearl white Sorento vehicles. While this is mainly a cosmetic issue, debris can be an issue as people have experienced large paint chunks becoming airborne from the hood area.

The paint is pealing off of the body of the car in multiple locations, most notably on either side of the windshield. This is causing the the body to rust in those locations which compromises the integrity of the vehicle.

Around February 5th the paint on my pearle white 2014 Kia Sorento started peeling. As time went on the paint continued to flake off of my car on both pillars and the hood of my vehicle all the way down to the base of the car. As I researched this defect I came across many other customers with the same issues and in the exact same areas on their Kia Sorento specifically the 2014 model. The paint continues to come off in the rain, wind, and even a simple car wash.

Paint bubbled up twice after rainy days then would go down and look normal like if nothing had happened after the rain. A few weeks later the front middle section on my hood started peeling, didn't think much of it since it wasn't too big. A couple weeks later the side of my windshield started peeling the same way (where it would bubble up after the rain) it started peeling off while I was driving. At first I thought it was a paper since it sounded similar to when a flyer is left on windshield while driving, after getting to my destination I noticed that the paint had started peeling off on the driver side, next to the windshield. I stopped by Kia dealership to be told that this has been happening to Kia's with the same paint color and that they just had a 2020 car that was getting rust dots, the guy at the dealership looked at my car and said I had rust dots in my trunk door, right next to the sides of the Kia sign. I looked closely and he was correct, now I'm afraid it will start peeling there as well. While there they checked my warranty and was told that that my paint warranty was over.

2014 Kia Sorento. Purchased in Aug 2020 at 86,000 miles. I noticed a small chip above windshield. Salesman said it was a rock. In Jan 2021 went to wash vehicle with a sprayer and large chunk of paint came off hood of vehicle.. smaller chips appearing above windshield now also.. believe this paint is defective by other responses I've seen. Kia needs to acknowledge this defect.

Pearl white paint is flaking off and has delaminated on the front, side and top. Rust is forming on the front roof where the paint has flaked off. This issue with the paint flaking off is an ongoing problem and has been going on for over 2 years from today.

Opened previous NHTSA id 11398106. Adding additional info for all. Main issue is the paint chipping and mainly peeling severely across and above windshield with rust. Other paint chipping around vehicle also, minor. Research shows this happening to mainly the 2014 Kia Sorento SUV with (snow white pearl) paint color. Read your info tag on driver side door jam to verify. Mine was manufactured Aug/16/13 at Georgia Inc. NHTSA has about 105 paint complaints out of 461 on the 2014 Kia Sorento SUV. I read most under 'structure or other' listings. There is also a facebook page for all to view and complain for 'Kia Sorento pearl white paint peeling, chipping and delamination'. hope there is a lawyer out there who has this issue and can file a class action suit for all of us. Because Kia won't take care of this issue. Hopefully NHTSA will see it as a issue, mainly when the peeling of paint and rusting is occurring around the windshield. This jeopardizes the tight seal of rubber holding the windshield in place. God forbid the windshield detaches while driving on the highway. Thank you all.

My 2014 Kia Sorento's pearl white paint started delaminating unexpectedly. This is common nation-wide for Kia vehicles, especially those with pearl white paint. My vehicle was parked when I noticed the paint had peeled.

- Chesapeake, VA, USA

Paint chipping away and rust underneath. Appears like no primer was used. This occurring still above windshield and across left to right of top cabin, at least 8' up. Started as 1-2 small spots. Kia service blamed it on being hit by something and wouldn't go further in 12/2019. I told them it was from wind shear from driving. At the time car has just over 30K, out of paint warranty.. now it's 20 times worse. Auto collision shops agreed it's a paint defect. I went to corporate complaint and was shot down saying it's up to local Kia judgment. Not good enough, hope no one else has this issue with paint on their Kia sorrento SUV.

I'm the first and only owner of a white 2014 Kia Sorento. The paint is chipping off on the hood, bumper and door rail/column. After doing plenty of research this seems to be a common problem with white Kia Sorentos. On social media there's a facebook group (Kia Sorento pearl white paint peeling chipping and delamination). This group is filled with hundreds of Kia owners who have this issue.
