The paint on my 2017 Pearl White Santa Fe Sport is bubbling and peeling off in random chunks down to the grey primer on the hood of my car. I contacted the dealer and they said the paint was only guaranteed for 3 years.
When I bought the car, I paid extra for a coating that was supposed to protect the car from acid rain. I am afraid to wash it for fear it will cause more paint to peel off. I got an estimate from a body shop and it would cost me nearly $1,000 to repaint just the hood of the car. This is unacceptable! This is my third Hyundai and have not had any paint issues with my other cars.
I cannot believe that the paint on this car just starts peeling off in chunks. I bought the vehicle new and it was garaged for the first 3 years. How can Hyundai not be responsible? I have been a fan of Hyundai, but not anymore.
I have a 2020 Santa Fe with slightly over 45 k miles & garaged...
I just noticed that the front, driver's side wheel is peeling in several spots. It kinda looks like plastic film that you would see when you get a new appliance; I've never seen that before with other vehicles and the other 3 wheels are fine.
Anyone else ever see something similar? Any idea if that issue would be covered by the warranty?
Today when I got home from work, I noticed a patch about 4x6 inches, oval shaped, of missing paint on the roof of my car starting where the windshield meets the roof. I could easily see the paint made a clean separation from the metal/primer. Never seen such a thing on a 2 year old car with only 21,000 miles. Checked the internet and wow, the number of complaints blew me away, including a 2017 class action lawsuit that got dismissed. I'll be at the dealer first thing Saturday morning.
