Consumer Description

BODY PAINT ON THE HONDA ACCORD IS FADING IN PATCHES ACROSS VARIOUS AREAS OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS UNSURE OF THE CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE UNTIL SEEING PHOTOS ONLINE OF OTHER HONDA VEHICLES FROM THAT SAME TIME PERIOD WITH SIMILAR DAMAGE. WEBSITES BLAME THE PROBLEM ON HONDA'S PRIMER/PAINT FROM THE PERIOD WHEN THE CARS WERE MANUFACTURED. I BELIEVE THE CARMAKER SHOULD COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS FOR THE BODY PAINT.
