2002 Hyundai Sonata review from North America
"I would not buy another!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Paint started peeling on all doors handles and bumpers plus on some trim.
General comments?
I could not get the maker or dealer to rectify. This is obviously not the only car with that problem, but still they won't owe up to the fact and rectify the paint problem. The paint has "peeled" only on the areas mentioned. Now, after almost 4 years nothing has been done and therefore I would not buy a Hyundai again. Also, service costs are extremely high.
