THE TRUNK HATCH OPENS UP WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT US PRESSING THE OPEN TRUNK BUTTON ON THE REMOTE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN STATIONARY AND WHEN WE WERE DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. THE TRUNK EVEN OPENED ON IT'S OWN WHILE THE REMOTE HAD BEEN PLACED UPRIGHT ON THE GROUND! ALSO THE TRUNK OPENED ON IT'S OWN WHEN IT WAS PARKED IN OUR GARAGE WITH THE ENGINE OFF AND AS WE HAVE A LOW GARAGE DOOR, THE PAINTWORK WAS SCRATCHED ON THE TRUNK DOOR WHEN IT OPENED UP AGAINST IT. ON 4/5/19 WE TOOK THE CAR TO DON WOOD HYUNDAI AT 810 STATE STREET, ATHENS OH FOR THEM SEE IF THEY COULD FIND WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE HATCH AND REMOTE, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHILE IT WAS THERE.

The paint on my 2018 Hyundai Tucson began peeling off the side mirrors and the shark-fin antenna on the roof. I have found that many other Hyundai owners are experiencing the same issue. It appears to be a widespread manufacturing defect related to improper paint adhesion, and I believe it should be addressed even though my vehicle is out of warranty.

My car has paint chipping away in several areas. In my opinion, there is an issue with the type of paint used on my car. I am so hurt that I had to spend all this money on a new vehicle and when it was almost paid off, the paint was coming off.

I was driving at 730 am with not very many people on the road. And my car was loud like a window was rolled down. And I saw something fly off the roof of my car like a sheet of ice, but it was in the 50's outside.
