I noticed about a year ago that the paint was wearing off of the front passenger door handle (which is hardly ever used). Then, the rear passenger door started. A few months later, the drivers side front and rear began to wear of. The paint is wearing down to the primer. It's awful! The car is garaged most of the time with the exception of the few hours a day that I'm at work and we don't live next to the ocean with the salt water in the air. It's very disappointing and does appear to be a defect. Hoping that it doesn't start on the body of the car!
hyundai has come a long way,but still need to make sure they don't go soft on quality. Looking close at my 2011 tuscon I can see a ripple of a single layer paint and clear coat. the paint is soft and chips really easy. In the rear hatch I can see over spray where they failed to paint in the seems.
