2017 HONDA HR-V Structurebody Problems

My 2017 Honda HR-V in White Orchid Pearl (NH-788P) has severe paint peeling on multiple panels (hood, roof, door). Honda issued Service Bulletin 19-064 covering this exact defect. However, I have been informed by Honda customer service and Honda dealers that my vehicle is no longer covered because it is 1 year beyond the 7-year extension period, even though the defect matches the exact conditions described in the bulletin. This is clearly a manufacturing defect, not normal wear. A consumer fairness concern, as the defect appears years before what should be the normal paint life of a vehicle. A potential safety concern, since exposed bare metal can lead to rust and structural weakening. I suggest an investigation into whether Honda should expand the paint defect warranty to include affected vehicles beyond the 7-year cutoff. As I believe paint on those defect vehicles don’t usually start peeling until about 7 year...

I am the owner of a 2017 Honda HR-V with paint code NH-788P (White Orchid Pearl). Over time, I began to notice significant paint peeling and flaking, primarily on the roof, hood, and upper panels. This defect progressed despite routine washing and care. Based on my research, this is a well-documented and widespread issue affecting many Honda vehicles with this specific paint code. Honda issued a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB 19-064) acknowledging this defect and offered an extended warranty for paint repair. However, my vehicle is just slightly outside the 7-year window, and Honda has refused to assist. The cause appears to be a defect in the factory paint or application process, resulting in poor adhesion and premature paint failure. This has impacted the appearance and resale value of the vehicle and may also lead to long-term corrosion if the issue continues to spread.

The paint on the roof is peeling and some area around the windshield. I contacted Honda but was informed the extended warranty expired as of January 2024. The paint began peeling around July 2024. Honda also stated the extended warranty was valid from the time of purchase. However, I am not sure if this is for the initial purchase (1st owner) or when I purchase it (May 2019). If this is for the initial purchase then the extended warranty offered was negotiated fairly when it involves 2nd, 3rd owners who are now experiencing this issue. I should not have to pay for something that is clearly a manufacturer issue (peeling paint). When I drive at times the paint peelings further in the wind then blows off towards the vehicle behind me. I kindly asked this be addressed at Honda expense since they decided to use a cheaper paint on these...

I had to replace the transmission out of warranty at 165,000 miles. Also the lift gate holds water and deysbt drain properly.

Front passenger water on the floor after rain. Seems to be the same problem described by complaint no. 10979667.

My name is [XXX] - currently own Honda HRV. The Honda HRV was purchased late 2017. Recently after service recall by Honda my car was repaired for service recall by Honda Dealer dealer - 2 days after rain the front passenger floor area next to driver was flooded With water - I immediately took car back to dealer and told them to look at what was wrong as we never had this problem earlier- the service manager told me that there will be charges to even look at it - which I refused to pay as the car I handed before service recall never had this issue. Now with the rains the passenger area next to driver gets flooded every time and after calling Honda they have not responded so far other than informing that they will look up in to it and call me - this has been frustrating...

A TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT WAS ROCK SOLID AND WOULD NOT BUDGE. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING GETTING OFF A HIGHWAY EXIT WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED AND REAR ENDED AN SUV STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. THE ACCIDENT CAUSED HER BACK INJURY WHICH STILL BOTHERS HER TO THIS DAY. THE CRASH WASN'T BAD ENOUGH TO DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS, BUT CAR DAMAGE WAS OVER $5000. THIS PROBLEM ALSO HAPPENED TO ME ONCE AND HAPPENED ONCE AGAIN TO HER. THANKFULLY, NO ACCIDENT THESE OTHER TWO TIMES. RELEASING AND ATTEMPTING TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL A FEW TIME EVENTUALLY MADE THE BRAKES WORK NORMALLY. THIS WAS WHEN WE FINALLY DECIDED TO GIVE UP THE LEASE BECAUSE MY WIFE AND I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR ANYMORE. THE CAR WAS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND HAD APPROXIMATELY 10000 MILES ON IT. I AS A MASTER...

THE PAINT ON THE ROOF HAS STARTED PEELING SEVERELY. IT'S FLAKING IN SEVERAL SPOTS FROM THE INITIAL DEFECT. THERE IS EVIDENCE OF PRIOR REPAIR OR DAMAGE THAT WAS NOT DOCUMENTED OR BROUGHT BY THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF THE PAINT BUBBLING, PEELING AND BRAKING OFF. IT IS CONSISTENTLY DETERIORATING. THIS CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN AND PROBLEM.

THE PAINT ON THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED TO PEEL WITHOUT A REASON. THE CAR WAS PARKED AND I CAME OUT TO FIND A GOOD SIZE PAINT CHIP TO THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD. NOTHING HAS HIT THE ROOF AND THERE IS NO DENT FROM THE PAINT BEING HIT.

PAINT IS PEELING OFF TOP OF 2017 HONDA HRV. WAS TOLD THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS NOT AN EXPENSE I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET. I PAID CAR IN FULL AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS. AND IT IS PROBLEM MANY HONDA'S ARE HAVING. THEY SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND DO THE RIGHT THING.
