Paint peeling on (white) 2017 Hyundai i20 1.4 Fluid - for the second time - do not buy this car unless you get rid of it within warranty period!

Our 2017 white i20 Fluid, 1.4 is a fine car OTHER THAN the paint keeps peeling. This appears a common problem with i20's - globally too. We have had the paint repaired through the dealership (on the boot) 2 years ago under warranty, but now the paint is peeling on the bonnet. This seems very common, particularly with white models. Hyundai SA seems to be doing nothing about this other than repairing when reported under warranty, through dealerships. I'm about to move out of warranty. What then? Come on Hyundai - how about replacing the entire panels affected rather than just a respray of affected areas. Or offering a recall. I know that once beyond my 5 yr warranty I have no recourse. I intend to sell a perfectly good car, with very low mileage and replace with something non-Hyundai - UNLESS something is done and offered beyond my 5 yr warranty. Great pity on a great little hatchback.
