“2002 Kia sedona- passenger front inside door handle - the chrome peeled off the door handle at the bottom edge that was not visible to the eye- when I exited the door the peeled chrome sliced my thumb requiring immediate medical care-if these handles are susceptible to peeling Kia needs to have these changed- no one should have this happen to them.”
