By any chance did you buy your card from Ebay or pay less than $50 for it? There are many cards sold out of China that are fakes with official looking labels. They are really 2 or 4 GB cards that have been made to look like 32 or 64 GB by hacking. The easiest way to check that I have found is to use Windows to format as NTFS. Usually fat32 will work but NTFS will not. If you format with fat32 and drag files that total more than the actual 2 or 4 GB, they will start to overwrite themselves. Or maybe it is a real one that is defective.
