Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE PAINT IS TWO YEARS OLD FROM FACTORY, HAS BUBBLED AND THE CLEAR COAT IS LIFTING. THE PAINT IS SO CHEAP THAT ANY ROCK THAT HITS IT, IT GETS CHIPPED. IT IS A CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE HONDA REFUSES TO COVER BODY PAINT UNDER WARRANTY AND I AM WORRIED IN A YEAR OR TWO, IT WILL RUST THE METAL OF IT NOT SERVING ITS PURPOSE OF PROTECTING THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. HONDA HAS ME OVER A YEAR DISPUTING MY CLAIM AND ONLY GAVE ME "I CANNOT DISCLOSE THAT INFORMATION " FOR EVERYTHING. MY CAR PAINT IS FAULTY AND THEIR TECHNICIAN MISDIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE DEFECTS.
