First real issue with it since purchasing. Rear Seat drivers side window. There's a black (painted) vertical metal strip between the opening window and the non-moving "opera" window further aft. Was getting gas yesterday and thought I saw water on this strip and touched it and paint flaked off on almost entire length. No similar issues on other verticals yet. Appears to be a quality control issue (I beleive I had heard some issues about paint previously). Anybody have any feedback??.........Doc

Haven't seen anything like this yet. Visit dealer. "Warranty service, please."
My friend showed me his new Honda Accord that had some bird droppings on the hood. It took the paint right off. The dealer won't help. I told him to write to the company. I have a 37 year old truck with bird droppings all over it and this never has happened. :-)

Yeah, will be going to dealer shortly, and we'll take the warranty out for a spin this time. I've had problems before with flying "assatone" but not since my first car. Only takes once to learn. We keep the car waxed and washed regularly.........Doc
Unfortunately, paint doesn't fall under the 5 year/60,000 mile bumper-to-bumper umbrella. That's why it's important to read the warranty coverages in your manual.
The paint warranty is 3 years/36,000 miles. Once you're outside that Hyundai is no longer obligated to cover paint problems.
Sure, my lawyer can beat up your lawyer. You can bet they've covered their asses with an asterisk.
Note the word "nearly" in the statement below.

then quit yer damn whining and get yerself some sleezy lawyer and put yer money where yer mouth is and go for it, or quit yer bitching...
Not that I'm defending them; but it's just a marketing (which is another way of saying "misleading") gimmick. I bet that the commercial you saw had a disclaimer of "see your dealer for details" or some such. They always do.
