Description of the problem | Three years ago when our kia was at about 60,000 miles the paint which is pearl white, around the windshield starting peeling off and since then has peeled off in multiple areas exposing the bare metal leading to rust. The forming around the windshield is causing the windshield to weaken. I have seen many other kias with the same issue of paint peeling around the windshield and am afraid that the paint used for pearl white kias was defective. |
