NHTSA Complaint #10731811 — 2008 HONDA CIVIC

PAINT IS PEELING ON ROOF. LAST WEEK AS I WAS LOADING A TODDLER INTO THE VEHICLE, HE MANAGED TO GRAB A PIECE OF CHIPPED PAINT AND PUT IT IN MOUTH. I DID SOME RESEARCHED AND DISCOVERED THAT HONDA HAD ISSUES WITH THIS PARTICULAR PAINT. HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY SINCE I MISSED THEIR DEADLINE. I AM GRATEFUL THAT I WAS ABLE TO INTERCEDE AND TAKE THE PIECE OF PAINT OUT OF MY NEPHEW'S MOUTH AND PREVENT HIM FROM GOING TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM BUT COULD YOU IMAGINE THE POTENTIAL RISKS OUT THERE. BASED ON MY RESEARCH IT IS COMMON FOR THIS PAINT TO CHIP ON THE ROOF AND TRUNK, AND I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT HONDA IS SIMPLY LOOKING THE OTHER WAY. I GUESS WE ONLY HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE THE REPERCUSSIONS OF THEIR NEGLIGENCE AND HOPE THAT DRIVERS ARE VIGILANT WHEN LOADING/UNLOADING UNRULY TODDLERS FROM THESE QUESTIONABLE VEHICLES.
