NHTSA Complaint #10684146 — 2005 HONDA CIVIC

HONDA IS REFUSING TO FIX THE CLEAR COAT ISSUE ON THE 05 CIVICS. IT STARTS OFF AS A LIGHT AREA USUALLY ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR AND THEN SPREADS. THE CLEAR COAT IS NOW GONE FROM ALMOST HALF OF THE ROOF AND HAS STARTED ON THE TRUNK LID AND DOORS OF THE CAR. CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME THAT AFTER 10 YEARS THEY EXPECT ALL CARS SHOULD BE REPAINTED AND THAT IT WAS MY JOB TO HAVE THAT DONE. SINCE THIS PROBLEM STARTED 3-4 YEARS AGO AND I HAVE TRIED ALL I COULD TO STOP IT AND CORRECT THE ISSUE I'M PRETTY SURE THE FAULT LIES WITH HONDA AND THE PAINT/CLEAR THEY USED. AFTER BEING TOLD THAT THEY ONLY EXPECT THEIR PAINT TO LAST 10 YEARS THEY HAVE LOST A CUSTOMER. *TR
