I have a 2017 Sonata with 93000 miles, the paint on the roof, directly above the windshield has started to peel off all the way to bare metal. At first it was about one inch chips that were peeling away. Recently after a hard rain a large chunk of paint came off. I have seen other Sonatas with the same problem. All of the cars that I've seen with this problem are white in color.

5 Paint problem

Failure Date: 01/02/2020

On November 23, 2019 I started my car and proceeded to back out of my drive way. My power steering locked, the light came on along with my traction control light. I had to force my steering wheel to turn my car back into my driveway to get it off the roadway. I turned my car off, and back on and lights disappeared and I had control again. A few weeks later, driving down the road my steering got tight and fought my car to get it home. I got it towed to the dealership. They told me the whole power steering column had to be replaced. There was also a recall on a clicking noise I had been hearing for a few months in the steering column. They refused to think it was there problem. Today January 2, 2020 I was driving on a straight road, going 55 miles per hour. Traction control light came on and power steering. I lost control of steering my car. I had just enough time to get my car off the road to avoid getting hit. I turned the car off, and the lights seized. This car is very unsafe to drive and Hyundai is doing nothing to fix the problem other than giving expensive bills to fix. The car is not even 3 years old, there should not be this many problems already. Also paint is randomly peeling on the roof and hood of my car.
