1 Paint problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2009

2003, Tiburon, drivers side window won't roll down, passengers side really slow, digital radio can't read number or letters. Have changed head lights numerous time since purchasing the vehicle brand new in 2003. Problems with the sunroof operation (opening-closing) glaze on paint peeling on side view mirrors as well as spoiler. Any solutions for all these problems.

2 Paint problem

Failure Date: 01/15/2004

Paint on the 2003 Tiburon (teal/blue now called tidal wave) improper application results in scracthers appearing very easily. Using fingernails softly against paint will scratch it. In other extreme conditions micro flecks of paint come off of hood and other parts of car. Paint is much too thin for the mildest of road conditions resulting in rapidly aging appearance and condition. It is totally unacceptable. I would suggest a clearcoat applied or repainted.
