The defrost does not work good, hard to see when it's raining and fog.
I bought a car in Hyundai Elantra2024 at drivers mart in orlando, florida. About a month after I bought the car I brought it back for something to service dealership area and let them know that the paint was coming off my car. I did notice that there was a tiny little spot that someone putcover paint about a half inch to an inch. The service people the dealership told me that there was a known classaction lawsuit. They weren’t sure what had happened. I looked up the class action lawsuit for peeling paint, and it did state that there was one for white, beige, and light blue in canada that was an ongoing lawsuit. The one for us was only doing certain white vehicles. But there was a class action lawsuit for USA, but it was dismissed I think because they thought that it had to do with pebbles or something that came on the freeway etc. Basically said it was buyers fault. So now I have taken it to Hyundai dealerships talking to corporate office making appointments four times, now my car as you see is almost 12 inches in diameter by eight more or less and getting bigger by minute because every time I wash the car{has to be by hand, or it rains. My car is bubbling the paint the paint on my car is all the way down to the metal. The metal is not protected so it’s actually rusting, etc. Every time it rains it will add another couple inches to my paint coming off. I have called the corporate office again and got my answer on Wednesday, January 5 stating that there’s nothing else they can do, because my car’s is not on the recallthis does not make any sense. Obviously there’s a facebook/google sites called Hyundai paint peeling 7. 7 k people are in the same predicament and very upset at Hyundai motors not doing anything. Is there any governments or state regulations that are helping people get their car painted or helping people have them be accountable for everything that needs to be done? government/local have done nothing what is the agency that we need to contact?.
After driving the vehicle at night and turning the engine off certain exterior lighting components would not shut off. Turn signals and reverse lights and brake lamps we stuck in a static on position even when not being activate by turn signal switch or brake pedal being depressed.
Over the course of my ownership my sun visors both driver side and passenger have loosened and now have come loose from the housing, causing them to not work properly. They now will not stay up completely and when you hit a bump they pop down unexpectedly hampering your vision causing a huge hazard. This happens every time I drive and have to remove them and try to find replacements to keep from dieing on the highway.
I leased my 2017 Hyundai Elantra brand new. The thermostat had to be replaced after 3 days and the car had heat for the next 3k miles. Since then the car has had poor heat and eventually just stopped producing any heat. A Hyundai rep was able to recreate the problem and updated the computer in my car. Hyundai has said my car heat has been tested and is now operational. However, my car still has no heat to defrost the windshield. The car takes a half hour of idling to warm up the engine halfway and even then the car doesn't have any heat to defrost the windshield. I live in new england where it's very cold in the winter and can't get enough heat in my car to defrost the windshield to see to drive my car. Hyundai refuses to do anything more about the heating issue, even though it's under warranty because they say it is operating as designed. I believe this is a safety issue because I can't see out the windshield.

The manufacturer was notified, but no solution was offered. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 6,000.
