 I purchased a 2010 kia soul ! on 12/31/2009 and within 2 months i noticed 10 -12 paint chips on the front and hood of the car. ii drive in a city that only see some snow and some salted. salted roads should of not caused this much paint chipping. i added a paint protection film to the front of the car at a cost of $587 to protect my investment. later i learned that this is a problem with this model. contacted kia consumer affairs about the issue to and asked to register the compliant, they stated they have never heard of the issue. i asked them to help over the cost of the protection system, they stated they would only do that if the dealer installed it, which my was not. i would like to see that the paint issue is corrected and conpensated for the cost i spent on the protection film.
