| Description of the problem | 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. |
