Consumer Description

PAINT CHIPS AND SCRATCHES EASILY. CLEARCOAT AND PAINT STARTED PEELING. THE SLIGHTEST THING WILL SCRATCH OR CHIP THE PAINT. SCRATCHES ON THE HOOD AND ROOF ARE PRETTY SIGNIFICANTLY ( REALLY NOTICEABLY DUE TO THE CAR BEING BLACK). ANY LITTLE THING THAT TOUCHES THE PAINT SEEMS TO DAMAGE IT. THE PAINT PEELED OFF IN MULTIPLE SPOTS ON THE ROOF AND THE TRUNK. NOW I CAN SEE THE ACTUAL CARE METAL. I BOUGHT THIS CAR (ACCORD 2018 2.0 T) IN NOVEMBER 2018, AND I STARTED NOTICING ALL THESE ISSUES COUPLE MONTHS AGO, BUT THINGS GOT WORSE VERY QUICKLY. CONTACTED DEALER AND THE CONTACTED HONDA, BUT I RECEIVED THE EXPECTED ANSWER THAT THEY CAN'T DO MUCH AS THIS FORM EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT. I USED TO HAVE A C 300 BLACK CAR THAT I USED TO PARK IN THE SAME PLACE EVERY DAY LIKE MY HONDA AND NEVER HAD THESE ISSUES. *TT *TR
