Your 2018 Kia Sportage's paint is peeling off in multiple areas, including under the hood near the front bumper, on the roof, and on the hood itself, revealing white primer underneath. This is happening despite regular home washing and no exposure to commercial car washes. The peeling appears to be getting worse over time. The fix would likely involve having Kia refinish or repaint the affected areas under warranty.

Driving down interstate, mid-morning, and my front sunroof imploded. VERY loud, like a bomb or gunshot. Shattered glass everywhere, all over myself and my car. I jerked, almost hitting a vehicle to my left. Correcting, and almost got hit by an 18 wheeler. Made it over, got off Interstate, was disoriented, ran a stop sign I think. Was the absolute worst sound.
White pearl paint chipping off on front bumper and hood.
