Tamara recall I have a 2014 Hyundai sante fe sport, the paint has started to chip on the front part of the hood.
Starting approximately two months after purchasing my vehicle, June 2017, my paint has been steadily chipping off of my car, mostly in the front area (hood, roof, sides of hood). As you will see in the video, touching the paint makes it chip off. It started out as just a couple of chips and has steadily turned into large pieces of missing paint especially after taking road trips of more than two hours, I notice a big difference. I tried to load a video so that you can see, all I have to do is touch the large spot on the right side of my hood and the paint literally falls off.
Paint chipping hood and passenger door.
Paint comes off the car in large pieces that, if raining, will stick to windshield of the car and the car behind you, while driving. This blocks the visibility out of the front of the windshield and causes wiper problems as the large pieces get stuck to them. Again this will happen while driving in the rain. The large piece of paint will still come off during normal driving, but the safety concern is while driving in the rain. Pieces as large as 1 inch by 1 inch are not uncommon, with the largest piece currently missing is about 8 inches by 8 inches. Problem started happening over 2 years ago. When the pieces get stuck to the windshield, you have to pull over to remove them from both the windshield and wiper blades. This is also dangerous as we have had to pull over on a major freeway before to remove them from parts of the vehicle, namely the windshield and wipers. This problem again causes problems with visibility out of the front of the windshield of the car and possibly the car(s) behind you while driving in the rain. I don't believe that large pieces (sheets) of paint should be coming off of a car and sticking to a windshield of the affected car and cars around it, while driving in the rain. Truly this is a safety issue.

Takata recall my 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe has paint that chipped away above the driver side, right above the windshield. The paint still continues to remove itself from the body in chunks. The issue began about a year ago. And I do not expect paint to remove itself with any rust/ rock chips in the area of paint missing. The SUV has 136,800 miles on it, but paint should not be coming off in chunks. I looked online and other individuals had a similar issue with their Hyundai. It's not just a problem with the Santa Fe. It's also sonata�s, elantra's and other Hyundai models. The missing pearl white paint now shows bare metal and is now showing signs of surface rust.

The paint is flaking/peeling on hood, roof and back bumper. Ranging from tiny spots al the way to large areas (approx. 6 inches x 3 inches) ias well as the trim down the sides on the paint in peeling off as well. I have checked and seen that this has been reported by several owners of this same make and model appearing to be the same in color also) please consider recalling and correcting this problem, giving people confidence in your company again. There have been numerous recalls on this model already so it would be appreciated if this would be recognized as a problem with either this model or specific color being a defect in the white paint. I don't think with this problem I can specify if vehicle was moving or staionary as information asked to include in all complaints. I have about 3 more pictures of damage that wouldn't fit in photo section.

The paint on our vehicle keeps bubbling up and peeling off causing the exterior metal on the car to rust in those spots. This has been a recurring problem with the vehicle since 2012 and is occurring in multiple random spots on the vehicle. We have seen multiple other same make and model vehicles with this same problem. We called the local Hyundai dealership who recommended a body shop to fix the paint issues. The owner of the body shop said it was such a reoccurring problem, he didn't need us to bring the car in for a quote, only tell him where the paint was bubbling and peeling and gave us a price over the phone. This has been an issue over time. We are not sure what is causing the problem, whether it is certain weather , road conditions or environment.
The paint is deteriorating, my fuel pump had to be replaced and my car won't start. I replaced the alternator, battery, crankshaft sensor and still won't start. I also have a break leak that I've tried to fix a few times.

The paint fades very badly on this vehicle, depreciates the value of the vehicle tremendously. Also the driver seat does not click in place, it moves around a small amount.
