how can I get the paint coming off my 2017 Hyndai warranty ? The paint is coming off in many areas of the car with simple hand washing of the car.

I called my dealership and found out I’m a year and a month past the warranty period. I had no idea this warranty even existed until recently and never got any letters or notices about it. When I reached out to Hyundai, they advised me to visit the dealership anyway and file a GOODWILL claim.
The dealership took photos of the peeling paint, and after about two weeks, I got the amazing news that Hyundai is covering a full repaint of my car for free,100% covered! If you’re dealing with this issue, make sure to ask them to file a GOODWILL claim. It’s something new they’re offering to help out.
