Consumer Description

THE CLEAR COAT STARTED FALLING OFF MY 05 HONDA ACCORD AT AROUND 105000 MILES (AROUND NOVEMBER OF 2012). HONDA REFUSED TO REPAINT THE VEHICLE BLAMING THE ISSUE ON THE OWNER'S POOR CARE. HOWEVER, IT IS CLEAR THE PROBLEM IS NOT WITH THE OWNER, BUT RATHER WITH THE PAINT HONDA USES. THIS IS EVIDENCED BY THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN WHICH HONDA EXTENDED THE PAINT WARRANTY FOR SEVEN YEARS ON THEIR ODYSSEYS FOR DARKER COLORS INCLUDING "MIDNIGHT PEARL." IT HAPPENS THAT THIS IS THE SAME COLOR WHICH IS CURRENTLY "MELTING" OFF MY 05 ACCORD. HONDA SHOULD NOT BE MAKING OWNERS PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAINT THEIR VEHICLES AFTER OWNING THEM FOR ONLY A FEW YEARS BEFORE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS. *TR
