Body problem #1

I respectfully submit the following additional information. In connection with this matter, the dealer in question asserted in writing that I "should have refused to participate" in the manufacturer-authorized "z05 service campaign"—a measure designed to prevent potential damage—and characterized the program as nothing more than "free paint work. " service campaigns administered by manufacturers are conducted within the framework of federal safety regulations pursuant to title 49, chapter 301 of the u. S. Code; they are neither optional nor merely cosmetic in nature. Rather, they constitute systematic procedures intended to preserve vehicle integrity and support public safety. Statements suggesting that consumers should decline participation in such campaigns—or that they may bear financial responsibility for damage incurred during their execution—raise concerns regarding how these federally supervised programs are communicated and implemented and may discourage participation and undermine public confidence in the national vehicle safety campaign system. Although the dealership subsequently offered to replace the windshield at no cost, I have not received confirmation that the repair has been completed. This offer was made only after the vehicle remained at the facility for an extended period, during which I was repeatedly placed under pressure to assume financial responsibility for damage that occurred while the vehicle was under dealership custody. I was presented with two conditional options; however, in either scenario, I would ultimately be required to accept financial responsibility for the outcome. Ultimately, I was required to assume financial responsibility for issues arising during the work. On 2/23, I was told the loaner could be reported as "stolen," and I returned it immediately. After returning the vehicle, no alternative transportation was provided while my own vehicle remained unrepaired.

Body problem #2

Engine burns oils horribly. Cannot sell car due to oil issues. Paint is chipping on exterior of the vehicle.

Body problem #3

Paint bubbled, flaked off on the hood. There’s evidence that another patch is ready to come off. Hyundai has dealt with this issue before.

Body problem #4

Paint started chipping away from hood and roof 2 months after purchase I am the 2nd owner so warranty is voided.

Body problem #5

The paint of my 2019 pearl white Sonata is peeling off on the hood. I see that there was an extended warranty extension on the same car of 2017 and 2018. I would like to know why not including 2019 of the same color on the same car.

Body problem #6

Paint code ww8. Paint peeling from trunk and other areas of car. Have also seen numerous Hyundai and kias around jacksonville, FL with the same and often severe paint peel. Needs recall and Hyundai to fix.

Body problem #7

The exterior paint of my white 2019 Hyundai Sonata has been peeling continuously in different places since 2023 when I bought it. The Hyundai dealer is aware of this problem but refuses to recall or give compensation for this problem.
