Consumer Description

PAINT/CLEAR COAT IS PEELING/DISSOLVING PRETTY BAD ON THE TRUNK AND THE ROOF. TRIM ALONG WINDOWS IS ALSO BEGINNING TO PEEL. HONDA DEALERSHIP WON'T TAKE CARE OF ME, I LOVE THE CAR, BUT IT IS COMPLETELY EMBARRASSING DRIVING AROUND WITH THIS PAINT PROBLEM AND $3000 TO FIX SHODDY PAINT FROM THE FACTORY IS NOT SOMETHING I FEEL I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. THERE ARE MANY INSTANCES OF THE DEFECTIVE CLEAR COAT AND IT IS NOT OUR FAULT THEY TRIED TO CHEAP OUT ON THE PAINT AND WE ARE BEING MADE TO PAY THE PRICE. WE HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT OUR CARS NEW AND HAVE OWNED MANY HONDAS. WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED AS WE ARE DRIVING A CAR THAT LOOKS HORRIBLE. WE HAVE OTHER CARS THAT ARE PARKED OUTSIDE AS WELL AND NONE OF THE OTHERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE SO THAT HONDA FIXES THEIR CLEAR COAT ISSUE TO LOYAL BUYERS OF THEIR CARS. SHAME ON HONDA. *TR
