One problem related to paint has been reported for the 2004 Hyundai Sonata. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2004 Hyundai Sonata based on all problems reported for the 2004 Sonata.
Paint is falling off around the exterior door handles. Passenger side door is rarely used and this is the worst side of it. Vehicles are supposed to receive multiple coats of paint at time of manufacture it appears that this is not the case with many of the 2004 Sonata models, I have noticed many of the same model cars around town with peeling paint around the door handles. This vehicle has barely over 100k miles.
