Consumer Description
TAKATA RECALL MY 2008 HYUNDAI SANTA FE HAS PAINT THAT CHIPPED AWAY ABOVE THE DRIVER SIDE, RIGHT ABOVE THE WINDSHIELD. THE PAINT STILL CONTINUES TO REMOVE ITSELF FROM THE BODY IN CHUNKS. THE ISSUE BEGAN ABOUT A YEAR AGO. AND I DO NOT EXPECT PAINT TO REMOVE ITSELF WITH ANY RUST/ ROCK CHIPS IN THE AREA OF PAINT MISSING. THE SUV HAS 136,800 MILES ON IT, BUT PAINT SHOULD NOT BE COMING OFF IN CHUNKS. I LOOKED ONLINE AND OTHER INDIVIDUALS HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THEIR HYUNDAI. IT'S NOT JUST A PROBLEM WITH THE SANTA FE. IT'S ALSO SONATA'S, ELANTRA'S AND OTHER HYUNDAI MODELS. THE MISSING PEARL WHITE PAINT NOW SHOWS BARE METAL AND IS NOW SHOWING SIGNS OF SURFACE RUST.
