2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT review from North America

Paint problems.

I own a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon. I am having a problem with my paint job. Shortly after the first year I started noticing dime sized blisters appearing all over the car. It started on the driver side door and then I noticed blisters on the hood and the trunk lid and now on the roof. I went to Hyundai and they told me it was from bird do. That it was my responsibility because I did not maintain the car (wash it enough). This is not true. I am a mechanic and love cars. I was my car constantly and even spot clean it when necessary. Bird do is never left on my car and I mean NEVER! I went to the BBB and they made Hyundai look at the car again with a regional representative. This representative did not even give me a minute of his time. He told the service manager to tell me it was due to bird do. Once again they told me they would not cover the paint job. I have a 2003 Chevy trailblazer that is my wife’s car. She never washes her car. There is constantly bird do on her car. Her paint job is just fine. I took my car to a reputable paint establishment and they told me that the blisters were coming from underneath paint. Not from the environment, but, from a poor prep job. I am still in the process of fighting this with the BBB. I am now ready to go to arbitration. Do not give up. Keep fighting.
