I bought a Hyundai i30 approximately 2.5 years ago. About 6 months ago I started noticing a host of paint issues: paint peeling off one of the door handles, rust marks on the rear edge of the bonnet, paint peeling off the top of the rear bumper. There were also paint chips on the bonnet and passenger door. I contacted the dealership where we purchased the car and was told us that nothing could be done as the paint issues were our own fault. I contacted the Hyundai customer care line; the person who answered the call couldn't have been more disinterested and nothing came of that. I eventually managed, through the dealership, to have a Hyundai representative view the car - the representative supposedly visits each dealership once a month. This was scheduled for last week. I received a call the day before the visit to inform me that the representative was no longer coming. Hyundai don't seem to have any interest in resolving my case and I wish to know what advice my fellow Ozbargainers can share with me. The car itself is great mechanically but with paint issues this early on in the car's life, I hate to imagine what it will be like in years to come. Thanks in advance
Was the car new when you purchased it?
