Consumer Description

THE PAINT STARTED TO PEEL AND WHITE AREAS APPEARED ALL OVER THE BODY OF MY NEW GREY HONDA CIVIC. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE PAINT WAS DEFECTIVE. I GOT A SECOND OPINION WHO ALSO SAID THAT THE PAINT WAS DEFECTIVE AND THERE WAS AN THERMAL ISSUE DURING THE INITIAL APPLICATION PROCESS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD REPAINT ONLY CERTAIN AREAS AND SAID I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RENTAL CAR. I TOLD THEM I WASN'T COMFORTABLE WITH PARTIALLY PAINTING THE CAR, THAT THE OLDER PAINT WAS ALSO DEFECTIVE AND WOULD OBVIOUSLY FADE TOO. THEY SAID IT WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM AND THEY WOULDN'T DO IT. I WILL NEVER TRUST HONDA AGAIN. *TR
