My White Kia Sedona Van's paint is flaking and peeling off all around the vehicle. This is not due to poor car of the vehicle or accident due to making contact with any other vehicles or objects. It is literally just falling off of the vehicle.

The vehicle caught on fire while parked in the driveway and burned to the ground. We contacted kia motors regarding this. It took them weeks before they sent out a representative to inspect the vehicle.

On iihs website it mentions that kia reprogrammed the auto lock feature so that the doors would stay closed in a crash and reduce intrusion. However if someone is dropped if the lock is disengaged while the engine is running, perhaps while dropping off a passenger, the door does not lock again when driving. This could defeat the purpose of the auto lock feature.
