paint is peeling paint is peeling

This is a known issue that Hyundai refuses to address. There was a recall for the 2017 and 2018 models. So far Hyundai is not addressing later models with this issue. The paint simply started peeling off in sheets. Some cars are much worse. I'm really disappointed in Hyundai. Had I known about this issue I would not have bought the car.

While my wife driving on the highway she noticed a large white spot kind of like a piece of paper attached to the windshield wiper, she drove to a safe parking place and got off the vehicle, to her surprise the hood paint was blistered and peeling, we will contact the dealer and the insurance company for advise and proper correction of the issue.

My daughter just bought this car in September 2021. It had a small spot on the hood that had been touched up. Now she has two spots on the hood and they are huge. It's just flaking up, then peeling. I have pictures but I can't figure out how to get them to load up. Once I do I will put the pictures on here. It looks like they used bad primer or something because it's just flakes up and bubbles then it comes off. It's a shame to pay that much money for a car and in less than a year the paint is just peeling off.
