2001 Hyundai Tiburon review from North America

My 2001 Hyundai Tiburon--black is experiencing the same paint problems. After getting the run around for 9 months, I FINALLY met with a Hyundai Rep that said that the paint problems were caused by Bird Stuff or tree sap and or insects. Hyundai Rep refused to accept responsibility under warranty. I am going to have my car completely repainted by a body shop out of my own pocket. Then I will see about getting my money back through the courts. Is there anyone out there who is having the same problem and getting the same lame excuses? Do I need to go to small claims court, or are there enough people out there that this could become a class action lawsuit like the one Chrysler had to pay up for because of the same paint problems? The problem starts as what looks like a small water spot, then blisters into a bigger spot and delaminates. It happens all over my car. Is this what happens with water based automotive paint? If you are having this same problem please respond to this comment with your experience with Hyundai paint. Lets get together and fight for the warranty that was given to us with the purchase if this car.

I would NEVER consider buying another Hyundai of any model, or any car painted with a water based paint. I have a 1996 Ford Contour painted with lacquer enamel and it looks as good as the day I bought it.
