NHTSA Complaint #10082849 — 2001 HONDA ACCORD

THE PAINT ON MY NEW HONDA WITH PAINT PROTECTION, LITERALLY STARTED TO BLISTER AND "ULCER" DOWN TO THE PRIMER LEVEL WITHIN 10 MONTHS OF PURCHASE. NONE OF THE OTHER CARS, PARKED IN THE SAME AREA, ARE SUFFERING THE SAME DAMAGE. I HAVE HAD TWO AUTO BODY RESTORERS LOOK AT IT, AS THE DAMAGE HAS SPREAD ON THE HOOD, AND HAS STARTED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. IN ONE CASE, THE ULCERATION HAS GONE DOWN TO THE BASE METAL. HONDA AND THE DEALERSHIP, OURISMAN HONDA, HAVE REFUSED TO HELP, BLAME "SUPERBIRDS," IGNORE THE PROFESSIONAL OPINIONS OF THE RESTORERS, AND HAVE REFUSED TO HONOR BOTH THE HONDA AND PAINT PROTECTION WARRANTIES. THE AUTO RESTORERS BELIEVE THE DEFECT IS WITH THE PREP OR THE PAINT ITSELF, AND THAT OTHER HONDA OWNERS MAY BE SUFFERING FROM THE SAME PROBLEM. THE ENTIRE CARE HAS TO BE REPAINTED AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $3500.*AK
