Yet another let down of this car that was supposed to be "all new" ! Everyone that manufactured cars for Hyundai in the 2011 year must have smoked crack all day instead of working. What a horrible year ! And, of course owners are the ones who pay the price.

finish is peeling off all 4 wheels

The finish is coming off all 4 wheels of my 2011 Sonata 2.0t. I went to the Dealer and he said they would not be covered under warranty. Another let down......other than that it's been great car.
