The paint is peeling off from the vehicle, exposing the body to rust and reduce the vehicle lifetime and durability significantly. When I contacted Honda about the issue, they told me it is a Paint defect from the manufacturing plant. They asked me to get a quote from the dealer to fix the issue, after getting the quote they denied the request saying it is outside the warranty period even when they agreed it is an issue occurred at the plant level. Please look into this and issue a recall.

MY PAINT HAS BEEN FADING FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. EVERY TIME I BRING MY CAR TO HONDA THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. IT LOOKS TERRIBLE. MY CAR IS STILL IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, BUT THE FADED PAINT ALL OVER THE BODY OF THE CAR IS A COMPLETE EYE SORE. I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THIS CAR FOR MANY MORE YEARS (EVEN WHEN I PURCHASE A NEW ONE)I SEE MANY MANY HONDA CIVICS FROM 2008 THAT LOOK THE SAME. I WANT TO BUY ANOTHER HONDA IN THE NEAR FUTURE, BUT BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT I DON'T THINK I CAN. IT IS EMBARRASSING FOR ME, AND FOR HONDA.

2 THINGS: 1) THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR BROKE FOR NO REASON. IT NOW HANGS IN THE WAY OF MY VISION. IT DOESN'T STAY UP. IT IS A HAZARD. I CAN'T HAVE A PASSENGER SIT THERE BECAUSE IT COMPLETELY OBSTRUCTS THEIR VIEW. 2) THE PAINT IS DAMAGED. SERVER ALL SPOTS ARE "WORN OUT".

THE PAINT ON THE ROOF AND THE HOOD OF MY HONDA CIVIC STARTED PEELING OFF LAST WINTER AND IT'S GOTTEN REALLY BAD. I RANDOMLY FOUND OUT ABOUT A PAINT RECALL THAT HONDA HAD A FEW YEARS AGO AND CONTACTED HONDA ABOUT IT. CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME THAT THEY CANNOT ASSIST ME BECAUSE THE RECALL IS CLOSED AS OF 2014 AND THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE PAINT. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL REGARDING THE PROBLEM WITH HONDA'S FAULTY PAINT AT MY OLD OR NEW MAILING ADDRESS.

AROUND EARLY 2013 I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CLEAR COAT CRACKING AND CLOUDING UP ON SEVERAL AREAS OF THE CAR'S BODY. I ALMOST ALWAYS TAKE THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, AND I ASKED THEM ABOUT THIS A FEW DIFFERENT TIMES. THEY SAID I MIGHT BE WASHING THE CAR TOO MUCH AND THAT I SHOULD TRY NOT TO PARK IT IN THE SUN SO MUCH. THIS PROBLEM GOT WORSE AND WORSE OVER THE NEXT 24 MONTHS AND RIGHT NOW THE CAR LOOKS LIKE IT'S 25 YEARS OLD DUE TO HOW BAD THE PAINT LOOKS. I RECENTLY FOUND OUT THROUGH INTERNET RESEARCH THAT HONDA ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (CAMPAIGN # 14-034, ENTITLED: PAINT CHALKING, CRACKING, CLOUDING WARRANTY EXTENSION) THAT EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THE PAINT. BUT I NEVER GOT ANYTHING IN THE MAIL FROM HONDA, AND THE DEALERSHIP PEOPLE HAD JUST KEPT SAYING THE PAINT PROBLEM WAS MY FAULT. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR THE PAINT, THEY SAID THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED AND THAT IT WAS TOO BAD FOR ME, SO SORRY.

THE CLEAR COAT IS COMING OFF MY CAR. IT STARTED DOING THIS IN THE PAST YEAR. IT LOOKS HORRIBLE IT'S JUST ON THE TRUNK AND THE PANELS ON TOP OF THE SIDE WINDOWS. APPARENTLY THERE WAS A RECALL ( 14-034) BUT THIS HAS EXPIRED AND HONDA WILL NO LONGER COVER. I CALLED THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF THE CAR AND THEY SAID THEY NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING FROM HONDA. MY CAR WOULD QUALIFY FOR THIS RECALL AND IT'S OBVIOUSLY CAUSED BY THEIR FAULTY PRIMER/PAINT MIX. PLEASE HELP.

THE BRACKET THE HOLDS THE ALTERNATOR AND IS CONNECTED TO THE ENGINE BLOCK SNAPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. I LOST POWER STEERING AND THE BELT CAME OFF. THE ALTERNATOR WAS JUST DANGLING. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW.
