White paint has started to peel off the body. Vehicle is past warranty (>3 years, >36,000 miles) and Hyundai refused to deal with it. It has been a known problem that their pearl white paint easily peels off the body down to the steel but they refuse to issue a recall for it.

This car literally has sheets of painting peeling off of it while driving down the interstate blowing onto others cars .
In August 2021, my son went to open the front passenger door of his 2018 Hyundai Sonata. When opening the door, the handle came off in his hand. We reported the broken handle and asked if it was covered under the factory warranty. We were told by the local Hyundai Dealer that it was not. So we paid over $100.00 to have the handle replaced. Fast forward to January of 2022, I was packing my son's car for him to return to college and the back passenger door handle came off in my hand. That's two door handles in less than five months. There was no forced entry. No yanking or pulling above a normal opening the door process. My son is unable to access the passenger side of his car and has to crawl across the back seat. When the front passenger handle fell off, the passenger front seat was unusable. I have done research online and this seems to be a problem. Our car is not the first one to have this happen. I placed a claim with Hyundai Motor America and was guaranteed a call back within 3-5 business days. I have since placed four more calls in to the customer service line and have yet to hear from anyone regarding fixing this issues. It has been over two weeks. I have photographs to upload but the system will not allow the upload although they meet all criteria.
I was I a parking and I opened the trunk, after that it was impossible to close it. The trunck latch failed. It has a plastic part that broke. I had to purchase a new one.
Driving north on interstate 530 in arkansas, about 40 miles south of clinton library there was a sudden explosion of glass from the sunroof. The internal visor was open and glass began to pour into my lap, shirt and the other seats in the vehicle. I screamed in fear and pulled over to the side of the road. There were no other vehicles in front of or behind me at the time.
The outside antenna completely came off and disappeared... Not broken, but literally came loose and blew away down the interstate
