PURCHASE BRAND NEW HONDA ODYSSEY IN 2012. PAINT FAILURE BECAME VISIBLE IN JULY 2017. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED NOR ABUSED. CLAIMANT MADE ATTEMPTS TO GO THROUGH PROTOCOL AT HONDA CONSUMER CHANNELS. RECEIVED EVALUATION FROM REPUTABLE BODY SHOP USED BY MY LOCAL HONDA.

IRONICALLY, THIS HONDA IS PRODUCED IN LINCOLN, AL. HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR ERROR NOR DO THEY RESPECT NHTSA. VEHICLE USED DAILY IN TRANSPORT OF MY FAMILY. PAINT PEELING TO BASE COAT ROOF AND BACK PANEL. PICS ATTACHED. CUTTING CORNERS ON PAINT WORK IS UNACCEPTABLE TO THIS CLAIMANT. HONDA OPERATES IN INTERSTATE COMMERCE AND HAS A DUTY AND A CONTRACT WITH CITIZENS THAT PURCHASE THEIR PRODUCTS.
