The rear door handle fell off as I went to open it. This is also the side that my 5-year-old daughter sits on. If there were an accident and the door handle just fell off, it could be devestating.

My panoramic sunroof exploded while I was driving on the interstate for no apparent reason. No impact; I saw nothing, witnesses behind me say nothing hit me, I wasn't under an overpass, I wasn't following anyone closely. Driving straight at about 75mph.

I own a 2017 kia sorento and experienced an exploding sunroof while driving no more than 20 MPH on 1/4/19. I was turning right from a side road onto a larger main road and just starting to accelerate when I heard a loud bang. I though my car backfired.

Above the windshield on the driver's side, paint is progressively peeling away with regular operation of my pearl-white 2017 Kia Sorento. What began as a very small and barely noticeable chip in the paint has progressed to a large paint-less spot. On the hood and surrounding areas, paint chips are appearing as well.

The vehicle is in immacutlate condition and when I went to wash it yesterday I noticed what appear to be a spot. When I sprayed with water the paint peeled off and I noted that it is dowing this on other spots on the bumper. I take excellent care of this car and to see paint peeling off when the car has not even done 100,000 miles is very disappointing.
