Paint peeling.
My 2017 white pearl Hyundai Elantra has huge pieces of paint peeling off of the hood of my car. I notice it in October 2019 the big piece then 3 months later some more began to peel.
My 2017 Hyundai Elantra is having some type of manufacture defect in the paint job. It started out as one spot on the driver side on the hood of the car where the paint lifted just from wind resistant and hard rain. The paint began to chip around the area and puckle up. A couple days later on passenger side another area popped up with the same thing happening. About a week later two different areas were spotted on the roof on the car. The clear coat and paint has completely lifted and it's down to the frame of the car. Over the weeks of still having to drive the car and having inclement weather these areas have grown bigger. I'm afraid if not fixed soon the areas will began to rust as well as will this also happen on other areas of the car. Definitely not good for a brand new car.
The paint on the car peels off in sheets. Completely below the primer layer exposing the metal. I have noticed several other Elantra's that seem to have the same issue.
Most of the Hyundai Elantra white cars paint is coming off. The paint started chipping and coming off with my car. My car is a 2017 and I had it less than 2 yrs. I took it back to the dealership and they did admit they are having problems with most of the white cars paint coming off. They paid 90% of the repair to my car but I had to still come out of pocket of $565 and they didn't put me in a rental while my car was gettinf repaired. I felt like everything was unfair and this problem with Hyundai white car need to be address as a recall.
The vehicle original paint job is peeling, hood, roof , no indication of hail damage, accident or etc. . .
2017 Hyundai Elantra; the paint is peeling away on the roof and, hood and front bumper.
When I purchased my car it was brand new it is white and within 1 to 1. 5 years the paint job began peeling off from the front. I use the car for work and I drive a lot. I took in the car and I was told it was out of warranty because it was over 4,000 miles. The problem has gotten so bad that by simply washing the car the paint job peels off. From the time I took it in until now I have seen other Hyundai cars (about 5-7) with the same problem; all white. About 1 yr ago I began having problems opening the front driver door. The car was unlocked but I couldn't open it from the outside. I would have to go through the passenger door and open the driver door from the inside. If I don't lock the car I don't have any issues. If I lock it I have to pull on the handle about 3 - 4 times. This is a big inconvenience and a safety hazard. About two weeks ago I began having issues with the back passenger door. I have a two year old and her car seat was placed on the back seat behind the passenger. The back passenger door was on child lock. Two weeks ago that door also stopped opening and I can't open it from the inside due to the child lock. I have moved my daughter's car seat and it is now positioned directly behind the driver seat. This is a big safety issue because I can't see her at all when I am driving. Also, I can't put that door on child lock because when that door starts giving me the same problem (not opening) I will not be able to open it from the inside if it is on child lock. So now I have to worry about my two year old reaching for the handle and opening the door. I have done online searches and have come across other Hyundai vehicles having the same issues or the door handles completely coming off. Hyundai needs to take accountability for the door handles and poor paint job.
