Hyundai Sonata 2009 red warning light for passenger seal belt stays lit even if no ones setting there or only a purse, or no one setting ther. So I have to put seal belt into lock even when no one setting there. So I have to fasten seat belt all the time. When driving car all the time have to keep it fastened. Also window electric switch on driver side most times doesn't function properly. Then deal sold me it a few months ago. I opened door cover to see if it was a switch problem & there was 2/12 inches of dried dirt in bottom of door panel. Dealer large one in san antonio,TX, at used lot say it is normal. I seem to think it might have been flooded in water he say no way it normal. Sure jokes on me now purchased as is dummy me, in limbo in TX. Car paint is starting to chip as well with deep open scratches weird every wash seems to make it worse looking.
We came home from a short trip and noticed that the paint on the hood of our car had peeled off in a few spots. Some spots larger than others. The grey primer is showing now and we have a white car. Why is paint peeling off of an 09 Hyundai? should not be happening!!!.
The paint has been peeling off my car for over a year exposing the bare metal. They obviously did not use any primer on the car, so when I apply touch up paint, it won't stick. How are they allowed to get away with this? it's a financial disaster for consumers. I saw many other complaints here about the peeling paint yet the company still gets away with doing nothing.
The paint just peels off the car when driving. I brought the car to 3 different auto body shops and all 3 said the primer is bad. This is causing the paint to peel off to the metal. Hyundai will not ever look at the car to inspect it for bad primer.
Paint is blistered & peeling off in big chunks. Primarily the hood, roof & truck. Vehicle is pearl white in color.
The paint began to come off on the front of my car 3-4 years ago. Finally took it to Hyundai complaining that it must be a defect since: 1) no accidents, 2) do not park under pecan trees, 3) no hail damage. There was no reason for the paint to come off to the point that the hood had almost started to rust through. Cost me $597. 80 to have it stripped, repainted, etc.
Paint started to flak off on front of roof top, and front of hood at 39,000 miles. Took it to dealer who indicated the warranty was only good thru 36,000 miles on paint, and I would have to pay for it. Paint should not flak off and is defective with such low mileage.
