problem #2

Jul 012008

Elantra 4-cyl

  • 70,000 miles
Around July of 2008 I noticed the clear coat on the roof, trunk, and fenders start to delaminate. The car had less than 100,000 miles and was waxed every six months or so. I thought it was just my car which is black, until I saw three more cars of the same color do the same in the exact same spots. Is this normal for the clear coat to peel off or not at 4 years old and less than 100,000 miles?
